There are two main studies showing the effect of day-care on attachment, cognitive and social development. Belksy and Rovine (USA 1988) investigated the effects of non-maternal care on attachment types whereas Andersson (1992) investigated whether day-care has a significant effect on the cognitive and social development of middle-class children. A strength of these studies is that both of them are likely to have accurate results due to their large samples; Belksy and Rovine 90 male and 59 female; Andersson 119 children and this is a similarity between the two. However a strong difference comes from the results Andersson’s study shows a beneficial effect of day-care on the social and cognitive development of middle-class children whereas Belksy and Rovine showed a negative effect with 47% of the infants showing insecure attachment when spending more than 20 hours in day-care a week. A large similarity between these two studies would be that neither can be generalised to other cultures due to the ethnocentrism of the samples, in Andersson’s study it is noted that Sweden have a very high developed social welfare system and other cultures may be different (USA showed different results). Also Belksy and Rovine’s study couldn’t be generalised for similar reasons as it was carried out in the USA on US citizens and other cultures welfare system may be entirely different. A final similarity between the two is that both of these studies have confounding variables that may have affected the results/findings; in Andersson’s study the wealthiest children showed better results therefore the background of the child may have been an effecting variable, in Belksy and Rovine’s study, whether or not the infant is used to experiencing new places and environments may have effected how much the strange situation affected the child.…
The ideology that gender is socially constructed is a view that has been present in a number of philosophical, sociological and psychological theories. This view shares the understanding that gender is a result of enculturation through a prescribed ideal, and that society deems what is considered socially appropriate behaviour. Carol Vance, a feminist scholar, argues that gender and sexuality are not to be understood as “natural”, but rather as a socially constructed truth (Grewal, Kaplan 29). This reflects that society is shaped globally through social order. Each culture and society shares a social order that is unique to a particular set of customs, values and practices. These customs are engrained within society as individuals share a…
Dramatic play is an important part of early chidhood develoment, it can be defined as a type of game that let children accept and assign roles, and then take action of these roles(Dunn et al,2012). Dramatic play helps children understand the world around them. It not only teaches children about the roles they choose to play, but also provides the development opportunities in a variety of areas. American children drama scholar Catherine further emphasize creative dramatic play is through drama to develop children's critical thinking and creative expression, which focus on children in the play when facing all kinds of contradictions and conflicts, problems of strain capacity. Children try various solutions in the dramatic play, which can encourage their thinking in the "acting" people, people and society, and nature of the various relations, so as to enrich the children's various kinds of experience. Catherine thinks that the education of creative drama purpose is not the creation of the drama, but rather through drama to develop children's critical thinking and creative expression, foster children’s language and communication skills. It is important to remember that because dramatic play is all about allowing children to use their imagination to complete role play and depicting the life experiences, therefore the possibilities are literally endless. This is a time when they break through the wall of the reality, pretending to be someone or something different from themselves, actions to go with the role which they prefer to play and dramatic situations. This type of games let the child development of abstract thinking, literacy and social studies.…
Daycare is regular, temporary separation outside the home environment without the presence of a family member e.g. in nurseries, playgroups, under supervision of child-minders etc. Peer relationships are thought to play an important role in children’s development, for example when a child is left separated from its primary caregiver for the first time, typically when they begin school, around the age of 3 to 4, they are often very unsociable and timid, a sign of fear and un-ease due to being in unfamiliar territory and with different people who they are not associated with.…
When it comes down to choosing the best childcare option for your child, the first factor that most parents look at is: what that particular child needs. Now, there is nothing wrong with that, but there are a number of factors that needs to be considered prior to making that final choice. The decision of whether to send your child to a commercial daycare center or an in-home family childcare should depend on more than just the need of the child. Parents need to also consider environment, cost, certification, daily schedules, and provider to child ratios.…
This educator includes activities in her lesson plan purposely for social learning. Children are presented with activities that require working together to complete a task, for example, using manipulatives to build or create something. Another area of focus to establish social skills is in the dramatic area. A lot of interaction and pretend plays occurs in the dramatic area. Children pretend play the roles of their parents. As Winter and Hollingsworth (2013) state, "practices that support those pretend play focused on setting pretend play scenarios and helping children play in those scenarios" (p. 1758). This author agrees with her statement. At Head Start, our first main goal is to encourage and model positive social skills. In the dramatic area, teachers spend time interacting and socializing with the children. This is a great opportunity to teach children how to interact and expand their pretend…

Play is a child’s context for learning. Children practice and reinforce their learning in multiple areas during play, play gives them a place and a time for learning that cannot be achieved through completing a worksheet. For example, in playing restaurant, children write and draw menus, set prices, take orders, and make out checks. Play provides rich learning opportunities and also leads to children’s success and self-esteem. There are so many different types of play and each one in its own way can help children in one area or another grow stronger and stronger in a certain area. A few of the different types of play are symbolic, sociodramatic, functional, and games with rules. As a teacher I want the children in my class to be able to play how they want and be able to use there imaginations in a way that keeps them growing and evolving, by helping them learn new skills or new words that they might not have known before. I want the children to enjoying coming to school and learning not only while we are doing classroom work, but also while playing. I want to be able to achieve this by, being careful to avoid dominating the play…

Being a single parent has its ups and downs and can be challenging and hard especially if the parent doesn’t have much support or help. Balancing school, work and children can be a hassle and take up all of a parent’s time leaving them with no time for themself. Who is going to watch my children while I’m at work or school? I need a babysitter. I can’t afford daycare. I don’t have reliable transportation. These are a few of the questions and statements that run through a lot of parent’s minds. Looking around Omaha, there are a lot of In Home Daycares on almost every corner or street. When parents can’t afford the high daycare prices they target In Home Daycares that meet the following criteria: the In Home Daycare is run by a neighbor, relative or friend in whom they know trust and they have a clean background record, the price is affordable or the daycare offers a payment plan, it is located in a decent neighborhood and environment, and an educational curriculum is taught within the different age groups.…
I am writing to you in hopes that whatever I tell you this day might persuade you to look further more into the problem of daycare facilities not having certified nurses. I believe that daycare facilities should have certified nurses because children are more delicate and need more special care. Children cannot treat themselves they need assistance from someone who knows what they are doing.…
We have many rules and have many pieces of training to attend to make us more aware of things that we need to be polished on. I go to trainings every other weekend, because we are supposed to have twenty-six hours, and we have to be certified in CPR and First Aid. There are many steps that we have to follow to keep the daycare clean and manageable for anyone around. Some rules are more important than the others, because if we do not follow them the state will give us a deficiency for not doing things like we are supposed to. There is a website that can help you search for a daycare, and it will show you how many deficiencies they have, or if they have been closed down. We have a lot of child protection that will keep the kids from getting hurt…
