Developmental Program Design The childcare program I will be designing is going to be for children from 5 months to 5 years old. This daycare specifically will not only provide daycare services, but it will include daytime learning activities as well. Since the children differ in age, my program will focus on different areas of development. That way, the children will be able to learn various concepts and not only focus primarily in one area. For example, I will be separating the children that range from 5 months to 2 years. Then those children who are 2 years will be collaborating with the children who are 5 years old. I separated the age based on Piaget’s Stages of Cognitive Development. Therefore, one group will be sensorimotor stage and

The room will look like almost preschool itself. The walls would be covered with numbers and the alphabet, and lots of colors too. I would also have drawn artwork from the children on the walls. There will be mini tables and chairs where the children will take their lunch. There will be large amount of space for the play area and another section focusing more on educational base. There will be a big whiteboard too and a table for them to do their hand on activities. Since the children are in preoperational stage, they will be a little more difficult to manage since in this stage the children tend to go through egocentrism. Where the kids only think that their point of view is the only correct view point. Since the children are about to be in a stage where learning the alphabet and numbers are very important, that will be part of the daily schedule. The children will be learning how to count by using objects to make the activities more interesting and fun for them, that way the children will be able to use their motor and linguistic skills as well. Linguistic skills are very important during this the preoperational stage. Therefore, in order to help the children increase their vocabulary, there will also be time where they will be exposed to new figures and animals they have never seen before. Also, the children will be learning new and fun songs to increase their linguistic skills. Creativity is a concept that is a principal during this stage. This is the stage where children have an opportunity to expand their thoughts and put them on paper. So the children will have time to paint, color, use play dough and overall find other activities to help them be creative with their artwork. It’s important for them to do hand-on activities, not only are they increasing their creativity but also their art skills. The children will also be able to learn shapes
