Competency Goal I
To establish and maintain a safe, healthy learning environment
Safe
Young Infants:
To have a safe environment for infants it is very important that you keep objects out of there cribs. Make sure all swings are safe and stable. Also be very sure to keep all tummy time objects clean. Try to keep them safe and close from mobile infants.
Mobile Infants:
I keep mobile infants safe by keeping all small choking objects off the floor. Make sure that all outside play areas are free of contraband and debris. Always stay close to the children to keep them from being hurt or from hurting one another. Always keep all hazardous substances locked away in cabinets away from view and reach of the children.
Toddlers: …show more content…
I always hold the child’s hand while outside on nature walks.
I will teach children appropriate ways to interact with one another. Teach them how to safely use their classroom equipment such as bikes, tricycles, cars, books, etc.
Healthy
Young Infants:
I will always keep infants formula up to date. Be sure to empty all bottles after thirty minutes of not being used. I will be sure to have all of your children’s most recent immunization records on file. I will always make sure all of your children eat on an appropriate schedule. I will properly sanitize all toys that children may put in their mouths to eliminate germs.
Mobile Infants:
I will always make sure each meal contains a fruit, vegetable, protein, milk and bread. Whenever possible I will try to have fresh fruits and vegetables. I will have menus posted for all parents to see in multiple languages if necessary.
Toddlers:
I will begin teaching my children about good nutrition. I will always give them various choices of fruits and vegetables. If I have children that are vegetarians, I will find and learn the special requirements to prepare a nutritious vegetarian meal.
Learning Environment
Young
Infants:
I will make sure I have enough space for crawlers and tummy time. I will have plenty of age appropriate floor toys for my children. I will be sure to play music and sing songs with my children. I will also include story reading in circle time. I will always talk to my children to familiarize them with my voice and so that they will eventually learn real words.
Mobile Infants:
Open school with a variety of songs. Begin teaching children how to use all motor skills. Have appropriate learning centers such as dramatic play, reading center, building area, etc. Allow children to play with each other and have several mobile toys.
Toddlers:
I will have plenty of age appropriate books. I will place words with images at the children’s eye level. I will take nature walks and explain to my children about the different things they see outside. Allow children to scribble on paper and button their own clothing to develop their fine motor skills. I will engage each child in conversation and listen and respond to them.
