Preschool Observations Essay

a stimulating learning environment. For my infant, toddler, and preschool observations, I spent my hours at the CCC Childcare Center located in our college while for my kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade observations, I spent my time at Casey Park Elementary School. During my observations at the CCC Childcare Center, I learned plenty about the methods and practices that go into early education before primary grades. The preschool classroom really stood out to me because the centers in the…

Preschool Observation Observations are a way for future teachers to discover techniques and to prepare them for when they receive their own classroom. For my observation, I choose First United Methodist Preschool. The classroom I visited consisted of fourteen students, a lead teacher, and a co teacher who provided support in guidance and instruction for the students. • The atmosphere of the classroom was both fun and functional. The walls contained colorful posters and the student’s…

I observed Terrie’s Preschool class on October the 16th at Hillside Christian Preschool. During the observation I saw many actions where Terrie would respond to a child and give positive responses, showing the children “yes what you are doing is great, keep up the good work”. During my observation I was watching and looking for how Terrie showed modeling and what her tone of voice and language looked like. I watched for how Terrie was showing the children physical contact and in what way, and…

The Early Education Center For my observation, I visited The Early Education Center, Seagull School. The preschool classroom that I visited consisted of three teachers and thirty children, ages three and four years old. The type of program at The Early Education Center is what I call a “traditional” preschool. When I walked into the preschool classroom, I noticed it was very large and very spacious which allowed enough space for each child. Natural light, provided there was no glare in the room…

In the last assignment, I had observed a preschool classroom to see if it was up to ECERS standards. I wanted to explore the environment in the preschool room to make sure the children are having as much hands on experiences as possible and that they have enough space in the room to play and learn. Identify those factors also; helps make the process of setting up preschool centers easier. After meeting with the teachers about the things I seen in the classroom, the teachers took it upon…

Observation: Rise Program Physical Setting Rise is a beautiful facility. All of the windows looking into the classrooms and looking outside are my favorite because they provide light, openness, and a sense of connection throughout the whole building. The commons is also a great area. It is large and open for all of the kids to spread out and explore their surroundings, while engaging in gross motor activities, such as going down a slide, riding a tricycle, or jumping on a trampoline. The main…

visiting two local preschools in Strasburg Virginia, I have noticed that children’s education is the main focus, but that can be presented to the children in many ways. The first preschool that I observed at was Pollywog Place on September 26. Pollywog Place is located in Strasburg VA and holds 74 children aging from 6 weeks to 5 years old. Of course with as many children as there are, there is a lot of staff members (21). Pollywog is a state licensed public daycare/preschool facility. At…
