family traditions

Competency Statement I (To establish and maintain a safe, healthy learning environment):

I have the parents sign in all the children when they come in and when picking the child up. When a child is picked up by other people I check the child’s file to make sure that person has permission from the parent to pick up the child. I also have daily routines check off the room, every day at the end of the day all equipment is sanitized. I take out any toys or equipment that is broken. I make sure every child has his or her shoes tie. I make sure every child has their own spoon, fork, cup and plate when eating. Before eating anything I have all children wash their hands. I check all out lets to make sure they are cover. After I am done changing a child’s diaper I make sure I wash their hands with soap, water and dry them with clean napkins. While in the classroom everything is at the child’s eye level. I have a box of clean Kleenex on the table. When I clean their noise I make sure after I am done I wash the child’s hands as well as mines. When going outside I make sure the children walk instead of running. I make sure the children walk up the play set and don’t run. I have them sit on the slide when sliding down. I take care of any broken equipment right away. When changing from one area to another I count to make sure I have all the children.

CS I a
Reflect on the sample menu in the resource Collection (RC I-2): If you designed the menu, how does it reflect your commitment to children’s nutritional needs? If you did not design it, what are its strengths and/ or what would you change?

CS I b
Reflect on the room environment in which your Verification Visit Observation will occur: how does the room design reflect the way you believe young children learn best> if the room was not designed by you, what do you see as its strengths and/ or what would you change?
Additionally, reflect on and describe the similarities and differences between room environments designed for infants as compared to toddlers.

CS I c
Reflect on the weekly plan you included in your resource collection (RC I-3). How does this plan reflect your philosophy of what young children need on a weekly basis? If the plan was not designed by you, what do you see as its strengths and/or what would you change?
Additionally, describe how you would adapt this weekly plan for use with each of the three age groups (young infants, mobile infants and toddlers).
