Recommended: Importance of communication in early childhood

My initial impression of my preschool was she was like a lot of children. She was shy. Coming in on the first day of preschool, I could tell she was new this semester. Her name is Tally, She is 5, female; and is about average height for her age, fair skin tone and somewhat scrawny. Tally talks a lot about her family, which leads me to think she is very close with her family. I know she has a twin sister Tessa, an older sister Abigail who she refers to as Abbi, she as well has a brother who she has talked about. Other school settings Tally and Tessa have talked about is that they go to a daycare/preschool when they are not at high school preschool. I gathered information about Tally from observation from interacting with her to observing her …show more content…

When testing Tally there were multiple things that she needs work with such as: writing numbers and letter, identifying letters and numbers, sounding out words. But there are things that she tried and did good for her age like: Identifying shapes, colors, her name and writing her name. Her sensory skills seem to be where they need to be for her age. For example her vision seem to be clear due to the fact that she could see the letter, number and shapes during her testing. Her hearing is good, when someone is talking to her she can hear clearly what they are saying. Week five we had 5 senses, one of the activities was telling the difference between salty, sweet, and sour and she easily knew the difference. Physically overall Tally excels at balancing. On nice days when preschool would go outside Tally like to walk up and down the concrete railings, next to the stairs and the small metal railing with no problem balancing. Also Tally is very good with stairs. Usually when we have to leave the class and go to the wrestling room or courtyard the preschoolers use the ramp, but Tally prefers the stairs. When a child is learning how to use stairs they typically go one stair at a time but Tally walks up and down them like a normal person would. Physically Tally doesn 't have too many, if any

Education is at the forefront of most new parent’s minds, which is why there is so much pressure on choosing a good preschool. Parents want to make sure that they give their children the best possible start to education, in order to create a solid foundation for success late in life. However, in society today, expectations placed on preschoolers are becoming more demanding, a trend that could have many negative consequences on the development of children. This idea is discussed in the article The New Preschool is Crushing Kids written by Erika Christakis. Christakis interconnects the audience, speaker, and subject as well as uses appeals to logic, emotion, and credibility to craft a strong and effective argument about how preschool has started to place too many expectations on preschoolers.

My first assessment with Rheya was a concept of print assessment on the book “Follow Me Moon”. Rheya is five years of age and attending a kindergarten class at Miramar Elementary School. Once we sat down together, I explained to her that I was in school to become a teacher and that I needed her help for several assessments. I wanted her to understand why she was being assessed and I also wanted to give her a sense of purpose by “helping me”. After informing Rheya about the assessment, she responded by telling me that she wants to become a teacher when she’s older as well.

There are many aspects of society that can be compared when doing an analysis of three cultures: socio-economic statuses, occupations, fertility rates, diets, religions, economics, and politics are few among many. Education, and particularly early childhood education, is a fascinating topic to study when conducting a comparison because it has elements of all traits and greatly mirrors the values of the culture of that which it is present, “Preschools are sites where a variety of domains, interests, and social actors intersect. Preschool is where child rearing meets education; where the world of parents and home first meets the world of teachers and school” (Tobin, Hsueh, & Karasawa, 2009, p. 2). According to Tobin, Hsueh, and Karasawa (2009),

She has shown positive results in physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development. Her motor and fine motor skills are developing properly, her cognitive mind is at the preoperational stage common for children her age, and she has shown to be comfortable with separation and emotions. On a personal note, I really enjoyed this time to play and learn about child K. From my experience with child K, I learned that how accurate growth development concepts can be. It’s like we have figured out the algorithm of how humans develop.

At the age of twelve-months, I was at the stage of development when walking was a natural milestone to achieve. According to Piaget, I was in the tertiary circular reaction substage of sensorimotor development, which is a time for trial-and-error experimentation (Bee et al., 2018). Walking is part of human nature and all children who develop normally will begin progress toward walking at this age, as it is part of our nature. Nurture, however, was also a factor in my personal experience of learning to walk, as it took intervention of the environment to encourage me to take my first steps. My parents coaxed me to walk toward them by holding shiny objects in my view, verbally praising and calling for me, and using gestures, which is an example of how the environment can have an effect on childhood development.

The classroom that I will be observing is a Preschool classroom at KinderCare Learning Center in Bartlett, Illinois. The teacher I will be observing over the next period of time is Laura Sturgulewski. She has worked at KinderCare for 8 years, mostly in the 2 year-old room until fall of 2013, when she took the lead teaching position of the Preschool classroom. Her classroom mainly has 3 year-olds, but on occasion has a mix of 4 year-olds and transitioning 2 year-olds. The number of students in her class depends on the day, because they are a child care center some students have a part time schedule, unlike an elementary school where children attend every day.

Throughout this course of four weeks, my perspective of child development has changed drastically in this short amount of time. This was my first class that was related to child development and there was a lot of material that was important to learn and understand. I came to this class with not much knowledge, but I am definitely leaving this class with an abundance of information that I will be able to use in my career or just in general. Discontinuous Within the process of child development, my view is based upon that is children are constantly growing through stages which is a discontinuous process.
