Work Organisations and Career Opportunities in Childcare
Voluntary Sector:
Voluntary sector is paid for by donations and charities, however the authorities do pay for the upkeep. The voluntary sector depends on voluntary, rather than paid for effort, an example of a voluntary sector setting is a youth centre. These organisations add value to the community and bring the community closer together, voluntary sectors provide their own child protection, health and safety and data protection policies and procedures, however still undergo regular inspections. Voluntary sectors provide a place for underprivileged children. In Nenagh they run a homework club for children aged between 7-10 years old. They provide a range of activities for the children to do. As well as doing homework children enjoy activities such as Board games aimed at developing skills of strategy and ability to deal with numbers and words. Card making (seasonal) and crafts aimed at developing creative skills and manual dexterity.

Public Sector:
Community-based childcare services may offer a range of child care under the CCS programme. They may even run a breakfast club. However, some childcare services operating the CCS programme may offer just one type of service, for example afterschool care. If you are eligible for free childcare the local crèche that is public are Bright Sparks Montessori

    Nurseries offer full or part time places from birth to school age, they are private businesses in their own premises and they charge a fee, apart from some free hours for 3-4 year olds from the government. Childminders are self-employed and offer full or part time provision from birth to school age, run in the childminders home, they charge a fee to parents. Both nurseries and childminders are a good option for fulltime working parents. Pre-schools offer part time provision for 2 ½ year olds to school age, they are normally run in community premises and are free for 3-4 year olds, and they are run by a committee and parents.…

    An Intoduction to Working with Children - Unit 1 Assignment

    A voluntary sector is a setting that is set up because people feel it’s something that needs to be in the area and the government is not meeting the needs. It is also a non profit organisation which means they don’t set out to make money. An example of this would be after-school clubs because they are there for reasons to help the community but are not required by law. They are funded by a combination of grants and fees. They provide a safe place for children to learn and excel in different activities and give them time to relax and socialise. Clubs give children good experience for later on in life and are also a big help to the parents who have to worry less about their children getting into trouble on the streets. If parents work longer hours than a typical school day, their children have a safe and caring place to go.…

    There are many different types of setting which provide care and education for children and families. The main three settings are the statutory sector, voluntary sector and private sector. Statutory sector is a service that by law has to be provided by the government to children and families, for example, St Peters RC Primary School. The opening and closing times is between 8:45-3:10 (depending on before/after school clubs). This school is provided by the state and offer education for children 4-11 years. They have qualified staff and aim to support children though after school activities, extra help in classes if a child needs more support. They work with adults through parents evenings so the parents can meet their child’s teacher, also the parents will have a better understanding where the child is up to e.g. milestones. Workshops so parents can learn what the children are learning in school, this supports both the child and parents as it means the parent can help the child at home. A statutory sector can be free full time education for the child. This is helpful to families that are struggling financially or unable to work therefore cannot afford to pay for education.…

    Assistant Daycare Teacher: A Sociological Analysis

    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…

    Key Skills Aon Project

    Report Article 1; source, Children’s workforce and development council. I am going to write a report on the issues of men working in a childcare environment. I will outline the different points made by two different documents regarding the issue and a description of how the issue has affected service provision and methods of working. I shall also highlight the benefits of having men in the childcare sector and how advertising men in this sector could produce a more positive outlook on the issue. Document one is an article from a childcare magazine it is titled ‘A job for the boys’. It’s an article about a man who works in the childcare environment and is highlighting the benefits of having men in the childcare sector as well as saying the negative points that some people may suggest. It goes on to say that the childcare sector is mainly dominated by female workers as only a small percentage of 2% are male. The article states that it considered that people are suspicious when they encounter men seeking work with children. There is a prevailing myth that many men are paedophiles who want to harm children. Many say that childcare originates from a ‘women’s job’. The man in the article then goes onto say about meeting someone when he had just qualified saying that he was a nursery nurse the man then replied ‘is that a garden centre?’ this shows that people automatically assume men have no involvement in the childcare sector, as the man then asked ‘are men even allowed to work In the childcare sector?’. Men also worry about how they are perceived by parents, when a man comes face to face with the parents he may feel intimidated as they may not want…

    Competency Statement I: Child Care

    I did not design the lunch menu for my center; however, I serve it to my children on a daily basis. We use the CRMC food service, which has many benefits. One positive aspect is that there is no extra cost to the center, and enough food is delivered daily so that each child is served the appropriate proportions. My center works with the hospital to create a “short cycle menu,” a menu that is different everyday and repeats itself after a certain number of days, specifically a one-week cycle menu that is chosen by our director with faculty input. This cycle menu shows strengths because the children seem to enjoy a shorter cycle of fewer foods, and our director is able to control the menu to ensure that quality foods are served. The food served each day includes the food groups required for a balanced diet with whole milk. None of the meals contain potential choking hazards and all food is cut with food scissors for my age group. Each month, our center updates our allergy alert sheet, which is posted in every classroom. The staff complies to each child’s needs everyday at lunch and snack. I would not change my centers lunch menu because it promotes a healthy diet, meets their nutritional needs, and the children like it.…

    A Voluntary setting is provided by organisations or charities. Most of their funding comes from donations from either the charity themselves or outside help such as wealthy people. They do not need to pay for the staff as they volunteer for this work. It does not make any profit, and any spare income from the setting goes into educations trips or activities. An example of a voluntary setting in my area is the after school clubs at my local primary school.…

    Entitlement for Provision and Early Years

    Early years provision in schools is about supporting very young children. It is distinct from key stage 1 in each country within the UK and is based on the concept of learning through play rather than more formal education, as play has been shown to be an important vehicle for children’s early learning. Although you may not work with this age group, you should have some understanding of the early years curriculum and the statutory requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage or the requirements of your home country. As a member of support staff, you may be asked to work with pupils in school nurseries as well as reception classes. If you have not worked at all with children of this age range, you may need to attend specific training if you are to be there for any length of time.…

    Explain the Importance of Multi-Agency Working and Integrated Working

    At chapel Street Primary School we offer a variety of services e.g. integrated early education, childcare, community support groups and parent survival courses. Some of these services may include visits to a child’s home or could even have links to training or employment opportunities for families with children under five. In my work setting we help to support working parents by extending the day by combining early education and childcare e.g. breakfast clubs, after school clubs. By offering these clubs different agencies can work together for the benefit of each child.…
