Welcome Cool Cats!

Parents,
We are excited that your child will be in the Cool Cats this year! We hope to not only show them a fun-loving environment, but we hope that your child can come here and learn to be the best they can be in school and in life!

We want them to have fun, but we also want to keep them safe and prepare them for life’s journeys ahead. We will be and have been going over with your children, a new method for helping your child to succeed. Below are the expectations for our classroom, but we need your help in implementing this process so that we can keep them safe at daycare. We want you to be aware that if your child breaks a rule, after several warnings, that they are responsible for their actions and have a consequence of writing sentences. But also if they meet the class expectations they are rewarded for it. If you could sit down with your child/children and go over each rule that would really help in keeping a healthy environment for the children as they come to daycare. We hope that having support from you, the parents, that it can encourage the children to meet the class expectations. If you have ANY questions feel free to talk with us!

    While it is important to follow codes laid out these codes do not always work for all centres or all situation. An example of this is the idea that “early childhood educators use developmentally appropriate practices when working with children” (Early childhood educators of British Columbia, 2008, p. 6). There have been times in my own practice where I have seen children thrive with practices that were a bit over their developmental age skill. In these times the child had fun and learned more practical knowledge and learned about themselves. It is important as practitioners to remember that not every child is the same and not every situation is the same which is why when working practitioners should remember the idea of situational ethics while assessing a situation be it the development of a child or…

    Because most mothers must work outside of the home in this day and time, children between the ages of two and six are spending much of their time in an early childhood program.

    When I have been in childcare setting, I have seen practitioners use Lee Canter’s assertive discipline because they have set rules where children can see them. Also, the setting has circle time before they do any work and discuss the classroom rules, this will allow the child to not to forgot what the rules are. The practitioner explain to the children and young people that if they do break these rules then they are consequences such as missing time off your break. It is important that practitioners ask young people what rules they would like to follow. However, they have to follow rules such as no hitting.…

    • Communicating with adults – it’s important that we are sensitive to the need of other adults, particularly if they have communication difficulties. It is possible that we will adapt with them without realising that. We often change the way we react to others, depending on the way in which they react to us. For example, if we are speaking to parent or carer, we might make sure that we are facing them and giving eye contact. Often schools will send our or gather information in particular way, email or letters.…

    golden rule is very important consideration, since it the most frequently lost rule when dealing with children. We feel children are different from us in that sense. Praise should be focus and not phony when encouraging children. Children should be given choices that are age appropriate, to make them responsible and empower them with decision making abilities. Express your own feeling with I-messages and exercises related consequences instead of punishment.…

    Early years of childhood have widely been recognised as the most important years of learning and development. “Research have shown the importance of these years to learn and acquire new skills” (DEECD, 2010), which have assigned a great responsibility to the educators working with the young children. As an early childhood educator, I feel that it is my responsibility to provide the high quality learning environment for the young children to learn, acquire and develop social, emotional, academic and technological skills. The following paper contains my philosophy statement, which includes my values and professional knowledge in relation to children, teaching and learning in early childhood education.

    Every teacher has their own philosophy on teaching whether it’s recorded or not, their philosophy is reflected every day in the classroom (Arthur, 2012). By creating your own philosophy that focuses on your beliefs and values the opportunity to adjust and improve your teaching methods becomes achievable and easier because there is a clear vision on what you think is important. In order for early childhood educators to create a reasonable philosophy, knowledge about effective pedagogies and the responsibilities of a professional educator, is a must. It is also important to be aware and understand how young children learn and behave. Early childhood centres are the first schooling environment for young children.…

    Assignment 1 From reviewing and skimming through the syllabus and book the three items that I find the most interesting is Early childhood education as a profession, Health, Safety, and Communicating with Young children, and Modeling adult relationships in early childhood settings. I chose early childhood as a profession because it has always been my passion to work with children choosing this profession can’t just be a random choice it has to be something a person want to do.

    Hence, in my attitude, it is vital for the early childhood centers to investigate risk-taking procedures within their centers and ensuring to provide safe environment including the aspects of playground design. These designs not only support positive risk-taking but also reduce the inappropriate risky behaviour, and minimize educators’ response to the children’s risk-taking behaviour in their care. Moreover, I accept that the provision of a level of supervision enables educators to support children’s safety and also acknowledge that positive risk taking is an issue that needs to be addressed in policies relating to adult/child ratios. Therefore, as a future educator, I understand that it is vital for me to get to know every individual child and up-to-date about the curriculum and legislation policies. Hence, this will help me to support children to build on their existing knowledge, abilities and skills as children achieve increasing independence in caring for themselves and other’s…
