CCIB received a SCAR/CPS referral #0306-4829-5973-3020047. The reporting party (RP) Ashley Shinn reports her son, Aedan Shinn (DOB: 01/10/12), attends the Reyes family Day Care Monday thru Friday. RP reports a couple of months ago, her son attempted to tell her how the licensee disciplines the children when they are not asleep during their nap time. RP states Aedan at first was going to tell her, but then said he would get in trouble for being bad. As recently as yesterday, Aedan finally disclosed to the RP that licensee when checking in on the children taking a nap and notices the children not sleep with their eyes closed she will hit them on top of the head with a closed fist.
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.
Throughout time, fear has been the number one thing that keeps people alive. Because people are scared, they run from predators in order to survive. The process of natural selection has ensured that those who are scared will live. The people who realize this can take advantage of it. Two prime examples are Abigail Williams and Judy Johnson.
D1/D2/A1 This piece of work will be focusing on a child aged 18 months starting a nursery day care setting. The two key issues that will be looked at in this assignment will be planning, preparing and reviewing for the child to settling into the setting. Secondly I will be looking into the child’s emotional support that the child may need when starting the setting, along with the attachments of the child that will need to be built or have already been put in place. When planning for a child to start a new setting there will be certain things that will need to be taken into consideration, for example; the child at hand may have never been separated from their primary carers beforehand.
In Infant and Toddler Practicum, I am observing at the Hannibal Children’s Center in Hannibal, Mo. At the Hannibal Children’s Center I am currently in the Journey A room, which is a toddler room. In this room, the toddlers ages range from one to two. The teacher in the toddler room while I am there is Dana. In the Journey room, there is always two teachers in the room, unless there are four children. There is at least one teacher that is the head teacher in the room when there are two teachers in there.
Feeding, watching, and playing with children has been my main concerns on weekends. Along with responsibility, I have learned to be patient. A child will most likely never do what I tell them to do the first time, so I must keep repeating my words and actions. Patience is key to babysitting, because if I don’t have that characteristic then I am likely to explode and cause emotional or physical damage to a child. As a result of this tremendous volunteer service, I have learned that I am a role model to many children.
Capitalism is an integral part of our modern society; countless individuals have benefited from the system. Nevertheless, capitalism has consequences that are often hidden in our society, the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest reveals these consequences by comparing aspects of the animal world to capitalist society. In One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, characters are compared to certain animal species in order to illustrate the consequences of capitalism. The role of rabbits in nature is used to illustrate how capitalism punishes those who cannot conform to society.
A daycare worker from Helena, Montana, USA was hit in the face by a shovel after she refused to hand-over three kids to their drunk father, who happens to be facing issues concerning the legal custody of his children.

In this essay I will be considering how innovations in theory, policy and research have influenced the development of coordination, partnership and integration in childhood practice in my childcare setting in Scotland. I will analyse the development of policies concerning children and young people in relation to my setting and the professional groups involved within my setting. This will include the introduction of building the ambition and the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014, which from 2016 will enforce the need for the named person to take any concerns seriously and report as required. It will also increase provision to 600 hours which in turn will help to safeguard vulnerable two year olds by placing them into early year’s
Middle East Peace Summit Paper Hezbollah has affected and impacted the very strongly Arab-Israeli conflict due to their many attacks against Israel, and their ultimate intention of destroying Israel, which puts them on the side of the Arabs. Hezbollah is political and military group in Lebanon consisting of Shi’a muslims. It came about in 1982, in the midst of the Arab-Israeli conflict, in response to the invasion of Lebanon by Israelis. The invasion of Lebanon began in 1978, where Israelis pushed the Palestine Liberation Organization past the Litani River, yet their campaigns against Israeli continued.
I was also placed into pre-school to work for one week. The nursery had a very structured routine, the children would usually arrive at 8:00AM. The children would then have breakfast at 8:30AM and snack time at 10:00AM, pre-school will then go out in the garden at 10:30am until 11:00am and the babies and toddlers would go around 11:30am to 11:45am and get ready for lunch at 12:00. If it was a rainy day we would usually have circle time. After lunch the pre-school children, toddlers and babies would go to sleep until 2:30pm.
I choose to view the video clip, Maggie Simpson in “The longest Daycare”. There are some entertaining pieces in the clip one being in the beginning when they test Maggie’s intelligence with the equipment manufactured by Often Wrong Technologies and going through the security check in the beginning. However, the video reveals how society often views people’s intelligence without often knowing how smart that person maybe. Maggie shows her intelligence when she encounters her first case of bullying.
The textbook for this course, Infants, Toddlers, and Caregivers, is based on ten principles for child care that are outlined by researcher Magda Gerber in the 1970’s. The ten principles are based on a philosophy of respect. In addition to the ten principles, a caregiver should know the “Three-R’s” for interaction. The Three R’s are respectful, responsive and reciprocal.
As the expectations for children entering kindergarten rise, so should a child’s preparation for the concepts that they will be expected to know. More and more parents are making the decision to enroll their children into some type of preschool to help prepare them for kindergarten, and more and more of these students are succeeding in their early school years and even their later life. In fact, 61% of parents say that their children are enrolled in preschool, which has risen by 6% in just one year (Early Childhood Education Zone)! Kids that do not receive the opportunity to attend pre-kindergarten classes are not getting the chance to succeed at their full potential. Studies show that kids that do not attend pre-K are 60% more likely to
