Daycare
When running a daycare for children two-years-old and under, many considerations must be made in order to provide the appropriate experiences to help promote their biological, cognitive and psychosocial development. One of my primary goals would be to maintain a group of staff members that I have ensured are reliable, extremely trustworthy and planned on working for me for at least a year or two. I would want to help maintain a constant environment for the zero to two-year-olds. Children who are two-years-old need very different care then one-year-olds or kids who are even younger. As they got closer to two and above, I would make sure they were being read to daily and being exposed to memory exercises, for example, identifying animals and basic shapes, while still being provide with an adequate amount of

Between one and two years of age there is a lot of spoken language changes, and a great deal of understanding and comprehension is gained by the child. I would speak with parents to ensue what the children are being taught at home is was enforced at daycare. It would be important to help the kids as they grew older to use to correct word for identifiable items in order to build upon and expand their current vocabularies. This could be done with either tangible items, for example a chair or pictures of items like airplanes. Another focus of mine would be for the kids to look at television, tablet and computer screens as little as possible. Not only is looking at screens bad for their eyes, it is important for them to interact with other kids their age. Playing the game I spy is very good for a child development, although it would be hard to hold their attention until around the age of three, I spy encourages identification of common items, use of long and short term memory, focusing their eye sight at different distances (very important for eye development) and communication

    Language development is a learnt behaviour within children and the more interaction a child receives will develop earlier sounds and communication and language skills with the introduction of sounds and words that are simple as the children reach toddling age that are easy to understand and is able to use the words with context e.g. sheep but the child may be able to say but not understand the object so personally I believe that the children need to be shown a visual object as you begin to communicate more complex words and sentences, I believe that giving children variety of activities such as reading, singing and even encouraging the children to eat at lunchtimes will introduce early movement within the mouth and encourage further and on…

    The first observation I did was at the Esmelda daycare, this daycare is a family daycare there the woman and husband showed me what they did every day they said that the toddler had hours for everything like what time they eat, how much time they had to play. Esmelda daycare promote language through play time she has book that help the toddlers learn the different animal or the ABC the woman would read the book to toddler by pointing to animal or letter and saying what it was she would also promote language by playing with the toys like counting how many Lego blocks there is or by saying the color of the toy right now. Esmelda daycare is not fully completed with all the material the toddlers need they are in process, but still not being a fully completed daycare you can see that the women and the husband take really good care of children when I was there as she was taking to me if the children need something she would stop and put attention to what the children need instead of just keep taking to me and ignored the child. Compare to the second observation did where each children age group has his own in Esmelda daycare see has all the children together he also has the toy room apart where they just go play when is play time and can’t go in until is play time again.…

    I have found myself teaching them more directly then I did when they were still in preschool, mainly reading, spelling and mathematics. This particular excerpt will be very helpful in the upcoming months of school as I have a better understanding on how to support them in figuring out the words they are reading or the math problems they encounter instead of just giving them the answers more directly. I will implement more open ended questions to try and assist them in figuring out the answers on their own. Finally, I will allow them to practice areas they have already mastered, for example, phonograms they already know, in an effort to ensure they have mastered the subject thoroughly before moving on to more difficult…

    I think I can greatly apply this information to my work with children because it is essential to “[match] [the] environment to the varying needs of young children” (Crosser, 1996). No two young children are the same and because of this, developmental appropriate practices need to be instilled so that all children can grow, develop and benefit from their surrounding areas at their own pace. From the knowledge presented in this article I am now aware of activities that could be taking place in a potential work environment and I will have better suggestions that will benefit the child, myself and the work place. Developmentally appropriate practices impact all areas of a child’s life from snack time to reading, playing and cleaning up after themselves,…

This can help facilitate more one-on-one time, allowing the caregiver to focus on each child and mediate child…
