We work closely as a team to provide and deliver a professional, friendly and consistent environment and care for the children. This involves all of us being part of the weekly planning of activities and independent learning opportunities across the EYFS curriculum. Our planning is incorporated in the six early year’s curriculum stages. Some of these activities will be adult led or with adult engagement but we also provide different stimuli through independent learning opportunities.…
The curriculum emphasises the importance of children being given choice and being valued as individuals. There is no pressure placed on the children and all the learning activities are fun and what the child chooses.…
We encourage our key child to try the activity and hope that it has been designed in a way that will interest them enough to take part, but it is fine if they don’t want to. We record the activity and how it has worked, who has tried it out and the results that each child has achieved. We also record ways in which we may have extended the activity to suit more able children or simplified it for younger or less able children.…
I believe children learn best through play. I see this everyday watching the children learning to count while building with blocks, or learning colors while painting or coloring with crayons. I strive to make an environment for these children so they can excel in all their developmental milestones. Children are more motivated to learn when they are able to make choices. It is my responsibility to make sure they have an environment accessible to them that is stimulating and enriching to help them make these choices. Learning to make positive choices is very important for children as it helps them to see how their choices can, in fact, can affect the people around them. This can make children feel very independent and highly involved in their own learning experiences. My role here is to help children with their abilities to make positive choices.…
In our own setting, we promote an open door policy. This means that we involve parents/carers as much as possible in their children’s learning. We encourage parents/carers to come in to the classroom to observe for themselves the activities their children are participating in and we actively invite and works towards engaging parents/carers in the setting's planning and decision making processes.…

One of my goals in the functional area of guidance is provide a supportive environment in which children begin to learn and practice appropriate behavior as individuals and in groups. In the program I want children to be independent and make positive choices. I help them do this by offering children several choices throughout the day. I work as a mediator, not a problem solver. Children in my care are informed, and have the practice needed to be independent and make good decisions. Children need guidance from the time they are born.…
Explain the importance of active participation of children and young people in decisions affecting their lives The importance of active participation of children and young people in decisions affecting their lives is you can find out what the child or family actually want or need. It’s very important to listen to their views and communicate with parents and respect their points of view you need to communicate well with children and take into account that young children may use non-verbal communication. If children and young people are given chances on what activity they would like to do they are making a decision which can help them become confident every week we let the children choose which part of the school they would like to go to for GOLDEN TIME they get to make the decision on playing at nursery, taking part in construction in class 2, clay modelling in class 1, drawing and colouring in the hall or small world in class R. It allows the children to make the choice by themselves building up confidence, self-esteem and social skills. Also on a daily basis children are given free play where they choose what activity they do last week one child chose to make a house for the three little pigs and while the other children did it quite quickly this child took two days to complete it and it looked fantastic she really used her imagination and if she needed any help with anything she asked, the class teacher took her to show the head teacher her work who was really impressed and she got a special award sticker. 2.4 Explain how to support children and young people according to their age, to support children and young people according to age, needs and abilities to make personal choices and experiences you need to understand the child’s individual needs and capabilities for example a child in my setting who may want to do a certain activity may not be safe for another child to do due to their ability so that activity would need to be adapted to suit…

As a caregiver, part of my role is to foster the love of learning and self discovery in infants and toddlers. To do this, meaningful opportunities that are relevant to a child’s life and interests need to be provided. I believe that it is important to provide activities that will encourage infants and toddlers to explore individually and with each other and their teachers. I also believe that it is important to help foster a sense of trust in children at an early age and encourage them to be an explorer and self learner by providing an environment that is safe, cognitively challenging and nurturing emotionally. A caregiver should allow time for children to explore individually and with a group, have time for uninterrupted play, and provide limits and expectations that are consistent and clearly defined.…
I set up an appointment with the Kids Club daycare at 9:45 am on November 4th to observe for an hour of toddler classroom who were between three and four years old. The principle gave me a warm greeting and took me to the class and introduced me to the teachers and the children. Everyone there made me feel welcomed. I chose a place where I can sit, observe and write my note as well as to be away from children's sight. In the classroom there were five boys, two girls, and two teachers Ms. Nadia and Ms. Emma. The classroom itself was large and spacious. The classroom is very appropriate for children this age and it has many interesting areas such as a blocks and art area, and children taped some of their previous work in the art area. The color of the class is bright and has interesting posters like calendars with the name of children’s birthdays. Also. There is a toys area that has toys suitable for both boys and girls like cars, animals, and doll. There is a reading area with a little amount of children’s books and stories in reachable…
3. I would promote equality and in diversity by assessing the Child’s individual needs. Also by gaining knowledge before working with the child, and with the use of an assessment. This also provides me with all the information needed to be able to support the child to take part in any activity or educational needs. I would then be able to provide a suitable venue with the correct facilities and prepare all resources needed for the child’s learning to take place. This will ensure everyone has been included and are able to take part in all areas of development. By giving praise and encouragement to the child, this is an essential ingredient for an effective learning process and enables me to identify the child’s needs relating to anything from a disability to cultural history.…
Providing that a child has a safe environment in which to learn they should be encouraged to push the boundaries when it comes to education. By providing challenging activities for the child to complete, we as adults help the children in the development process. This is also true for adult learners, as we continue to develop skills throughout our lives.…
