In this paper I will discuss an observation and the developmental needs of a small group of older twos. First I will discuss the observation of Mrs. Nicole’s two-year-old classroom.

The objectives support the curriculum, which can be a major part of a child’s development.…
There are many ranges of legislation in the UK designed to keep our children safe. Firstly is the Children’s Act 1989 which was designed to promote safeguarding and well being, it requires the child to be involved in decisions regarding their life and that they are listened to and respected. This is followed by local authorities, parents, courts and other agencies, such as social workers to ensure the child’s wishes feelings and needs are met to their best capacity.…

The child I am observing (Child N), is a five-year six-month old boy who attends a public school located in the West Village area of Manhattan. He is classified as being speech impaired. As per classroom teachers, he is bright in the sense that there are some tasks he is able to complete without verbal cues such as sorting, and an inquisitive child in the sense that shows interest in new things and people. My first day he stared at me nearly the entire time I was in the class. He demonstrates delays in most areas of development. Child N receives speech therapy individually two times a week for thirty minutes in a separate location and in a group of three, once a week, for thirty minutes in a separate location. He receives occupational…
I observed a child just over 1 year old. I'll call her, Rae. Rae has an older sister, we'll call her Jo. When I first began observing her, she was playing with her sister and was smiling. I assume she was having fun. She seemed fine until her mom popped out and went to the restroom. She also had trouble sharing with her older sister. I noticed that Rae was always trying to stand and walk, she's wobbly.…
I had the opportunity to observe at the Isabel Patterson Child Development Center in Long Beach. It was my first time observing in this center so I had to be there before my observation time, which was at 2:30pm. Once, I entered the building the atmosphere was welcoming and enjoyable. The children I observed where around the ages of three to five. During my observation there was twenty-eight children and five teachers present. The building was all wooden on the inside and at the entrance there was a welcome wall colored with a rainbow. There were art projects hanged on the walls as well as learning material. On the sides of the of the building shelves were organized with labels so that the children would know where to put back the material.…
Your 9-year-old child will increasingly express an interest in and be able to take part in family decision-making, such as where to go on vacation or what foods to buy for meals. Nine-year-olds also love to plan their days, and may enjoy organizing her schedule on a planner.…
On November 13, 2014 at Grossmont College’s Child Development Center, I observed Konnor who was born on March 11, 2011. At the center, there are roughly around 15 children between the ages of three and five; there is one adult for every six or so kids. The preschool center’s indoor environment is safely secured with a locked gate that separates the outside door which leads to the younger children centers and parking lot with the hallway to the learning and play area. There are two separate rooms, but they both have screen doors that lead to the same play area outside. The room on the left, which Konnor is placed in, was smaller than the room on the right but they both had similar types of equipment and activities that children could join in on together. Both rooms were decorated with the colorful artwork of the preschool children, several tables and chairs were surrounding the indoor area, and there was an activity awaiting for kids in every corner; not one child was left with nothing to do. The outdoor environment is secured with a tall fence surrounding the outside area, along with a locked gate. The outdoors have many activities that encourage the kids to interact with one another. There are bicycles, a painting station, a mini-garden, a playground equipped with slides, a playhouse, large plastic blocks, and even a small stage for children to perform in dramatic play. The indoor and outdoor environment is secure for the children and encourages the children to interact with each other and play as well as learn. Tantrums were thrown, children disobeyed orders, but, the adults handled every situation presented with a calm voice and they let the children know why their action was wrong and what they can do to fix it. For example, Konnor threw a fit because there was no bicycle available for him to use, a teacher came by his side and leaned down to his…
Full-day kindergarten is designed to give children a strong start for four and five -tear-old in school and in life and it is part of Ontario’s plan to support early learning and child development. Furthermore, full-day kindergarten can build a stronger school system and contribute to Ontario’s long-term economic competitive advantage. Ontario’s full-day kindergarten program is not simply a doubling of time in comparison to the half-day program; instead the FDK program offers a child-center, developmentally appropriate program taught by both a certified teacher and a registered early childhood educator. The purpose of the program is to establish a foundation in learning in a safe and nurturing play-based environment. An overwhelming majority…
The purpose of this essay is to inform readers of the observations I made during my short stay in Mr. Sutton’s classroom. It also intend to analyze the differences between girls and boys in the learning environment, and in the following areas: how the two groups interact with teachers, how the instructor may reinforce stereotypical gender behavior, supportive teacher responses to boys and girls; and these relative to standards (learning environments) and (assessment) as delineated by the CCSSO (Council of Chief State School Officers, 2011). The definition and expressed purpose of this document is printed in the introduction:…

The setting is a home environment of a friend; the environment is clean, warm and sunny. It is not set up for children however, there are no toys, the child does not have other children to play with, and there are about eight other adults present for a get together. The situation seems like it could be possibly boring to a four year old child as there are not any toys, he can not run around in the house, and is expected to sit still for a while. In terms of safety everything is fine. Since some of the adults are using equipment to detoxify, the child did have the supervision of his Mom while using the same equipment. In terms of intellectual stimulation realizing that the child might become bored the Mom brought books with, and the host also brought out a board game for the child to play with. Even with the books and board game it easy to see how a young child could become very bored and start to act up. The parenting I would expect to see in this setting would be authoritarian, being that the child is expected to behave at someone else's home. The parenting I observed in that setting was moderately more than I would expect to see in that setting. In the interactions with the child I see the parent communicating frustration with the child's non- compliance to be still, and stop misbehaving. The parent shows annoyance with the child repeatedly wanting to be underneath her. She even tells the child to go back in the kitchen while he is having a snack and he does not have to be underneath her all the time. The Mom seems quite annoyed with the child even to the point of not wanting to interact with him at all, and appears to be quite overwhelmed with the role of mothering. The mother keeps correcting him every time he misbehaves.…
