Introduction: I observed at Kindercare Daycare located at 800 S. Arlington Heights Rd. Elk Grove Village, IL 60007. I was observing the Preschool and kindergarten classroom. The children’s ages ranged from three to five years old. There was at the most twenty children in the room that I observed in, and one staff member per classroom.
On 10-27-2015 Tuesday at approximately 1000 hours I Officer Hildebrand and Sgt. Joseph Harris were informed by Dispatch that Stormy Lintner was at the station to report vandalism to her vehicle. I arrived shortly after to speak with Stormy. I spoke with Stormy in the Department seating area about what happened. Stormy stated that sometime between 2000 hours and 0430 hours someone slashed all four tires on her Toyota Camry.
Blossom Hill Nursery School, an Experience in Infant Education The school of my choice is Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia considering that they teach with a Christian worldview. While I already contribute to my community and my church, having a teaching degree from Liberty University Online will strengthen my Christian values, broaden my knowledge base, and equip me with the skills necessary to impact my sphere of influence. Already a small business owner, my desire is to pursue an early childhood education degree, so that I can own and manage my own infant nursery school. I follow a generation of teachers-- my grandmother, my mother, and my sister. Since teachers do not earn that much money, not much has been saved for my college funds.
Although, in the last 20 years, the early childhood occupation has enhanced standards and responsibility for the advancing the current early childhood educators. I desire to benefit from the field experience is more of “the hands on “method and resilient understanding about the responsibilities teachers have toward students within an inclusive classroom. Also be able to cultivate the right skills to assist needed for preschoolers with disabilities. Taking part in a diverse field experience into a teacher preparation programs are significant because of the influx diversity of students that require services has grown. The early childhood professional must recognize the many cultural and linguistic background to provide the most useful assessments
Sofia reported that she has a good relationship with both parents. She indicated if something is bothering her, she will speak with the parent with whom she is with. Sofia reported that her mother’s home is smaller than her father’s. She indicated that both homes have the same rules.
The individual selected for my observation is Maria at the preschool center where I work. Maria is 4 years old and was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2. Maria’s dad was also diagnosed with autism. Maria is in an inclusive classroom setting with other children of different ages ranging from 18 months to 5 years. She lives with her parents in the city of Philadelphia and is the only child of her parents.
The reporting party stated when she drops her child at the center at 7:30AM - 7:40AM the infant has been observed with 1 teacher and seven infants on more than one occasion. According to the RP the additional teacher does not arrive until after 8:00AM. The RP stated all the infants were crying at the same time and that the teacher appeared very overwhelmed. The RP stated that toddlers in diapers were observed mingled with the preschool and school age children. The RP stated when teachers go to lunch the infants are strapped in a buggy and placed in the office while the staff person is performing office duties.
According to developmental psychology a person at any age is at a certain stage of cognitive, moral, psychosocial, and physical development. This development is measured by different types of thinking, mental capacity for tasks, physical strength, and reasoning for following rules. Development is easily seen in children. Naturalistic observation is the one of the easiest method to see these developments in children. This is the observation technique I used, while watching a five year old male at Kindercare Daycare at 3:30 on a Friday.
Over the past few months, the class has been discussing typical and atypical language development and the assessment and intervention of children with language delay or disorder. In line with this, the students were asked to observe children aged 0-12 years old with language problems for 2 hours. For this requirement, I went to a therapy center situated in Quezon City last November 16, from ten (10) A.M. to twelve (12) N.N. The center has multiple rooms that are used for speech therapy and occupational therapy. During my observation, two speech pathologists and two children with language disorder were sharing one speech therapy room.
For the parent-child interaction observation, I decided to use my community park as the public setting. My observation consisted of watching the interaction of a mother and her two sons, who seemed to be twins around the age of six or seven years old. I observed the interaction from afar without them being aware that I was observing, which allowed me to note a true naturalistic observation without manipulation of the situation. The setting of the interaction was a community park, where a mother and her two sons of Indian ethnicity, were approaching a basketball court area. The mother began to strap a helmet on one son because he was about to ride his bike, while the other son was walking alongside them holding a basketball.
Introduction An ongoing discussion about the way teachers and children interact in daycare settings has been a topic of interest for many people who work and study in the field of early childhood psychology. Starting on June 10, 2013 and continuing through June 14, 2013, I conducted ethnographic field research about the most current ways daycare employees and children seem to interact on a daily basis. The research I was most interested with took place during times of play. Specifically, I wanted to examine how many times teachers and daycare students came into friendly physical contact on an average basis.
An unannounced 10/20/2015 I was greeted by Marilyn Harrison the director at the door. I introduced myself and handed her a business card and discussed my purpose of the visit and what documentation I would needed. A walkthrough of the building and playground was conducted. There are three building in the operation. The main building had three classroom, all three classrooms are used at different parts of the day.
On Monday February 29, Doris arrived at my center and informed me that she's here for an inspection. During the inspection, she informed me that my Preschool room is out of ratio and that I have two infants under 17 months there. I would like for her to specify who those infants are because of the two youngest children that I moved to the toddler room, neither was under 17 months. I processed several applications for employment the week of February 22 and submitted background checks on the following applicants: Amber Jones, Nancy Estrada, Margie Lovaton, and Farzana Zehra. I hired Amber, Nancy and Margie pending background results and kept Farzana on standby in case she was needed.
Introduction – Background information This paper is about child observation. I observed a child, Daniel (coded name). He is four years and two months old. Daniel is 103 cm and 18 kg.
Classroom Observations Mrs. Canada is the first grade teacher that I observed, and the subject that she was teaching was reading. She had planned well-organized power points and crafting materials in advance, so she was prepared for the lesson. The two times I observed, the lesson that was being taught at both times was reading. Children in the classroom used a lot of previous knowledge for the lesson.
