Toddler Observation NAEYC Standard 1a: Knowing and understanding young children’s characteristics and needs. The artifact Toddler Observation was created for my Infant and Toddler course. This is one of the last observations that I did, the center I used was Norfolk Montessori Academy. This observation lasted throughout the fully day of the program. I was to choose one student from their toddler program, I interacted with this child, observed his development in several areas and document my…
After a brief tour through the center, it’s clear to see why there are often dozens of names on the waiting list months in advance for enrollment at the center. Play and Learn at Community Place feels open, warm, and inviting, from the colorful art and photos of the children adorning the walls lining the hallways, to the walls of information for parents related to the center, its philosophy, and its staff. The staff are knowledgeable, and educated in their craft. Each staff member has their own…
The child that I observed for my second observation was Lissandro. The same child as my last observation. Lissandro is now 44 months old. I observed Lissandro at his home on the 22nd of this month around noon time. How he relates to me is that he is my best friend’s nephew. One thing that changed in the child’s life is that the father is seeing his child more. Before, he would see him on weekends, but now he sees his son all the time. Not a lot of the child’s fine and gross motor…
Pre-Birth to 3 The Pre-Birth to 3 document is a guideline put in place by Learning Teaching Scotland for children in the womb to age 3. This was previously Birth to 3 but was changed in 2010 to Pre-Birth to 3 as new research found that children learn in the womb before births, such as recognising sounds and smells. Many organisations were involved in this change, such as midwives, health visitors and the NHS as a whole. Also researchers such as Suzanne Zeedyke and Robin Balbernie were involved…
I-PAS Observation Summary Upon completing the Infant-Preschool Play Assessment Scale score sheet for the child I observed at Jones Jaggers, I was able to track the developmental progress of the child, as well as connect different aspects of play discussed during this semester to the information learned from the I-PAS assignment. For confidentiality purposes, we will refer to the child observed for this I-PAS project as GP, as this paper analyzes the development process and play patterns…

certain situations or environments? Well, scientists have created three imperative observations that will help you find answers on your study of choice. Those are the case study, the survey, and frequently used, the naturalistic observation. However, naturalistic is a well-known observation which receives logical answers on a study at that time, place and moment of natural habitats. Meanwhile, would naturalistic observation provide enough information on a study with a toddler who behaves well…

Social behavior—did the child appear to be comfortable with self, get along well with others, and adjust to the norms of the group? She had great social behavior and worked well with others. She seemed to test her dad though the observation but when it came to playing with another child, she did…
grow physically, emotionally, cognitively and socially. Observing a child in their natural setting is a superb way to examine and track specific behaviors. For this project I observed a male, six-year-old child coming home from school and subsequently going about his normal routine at his grandmother’s house. I watched and recorded the child’s behavior for a one-hour period, on two separate days. During the first hour of observation I tracked all the…
