I understand children likes to explore their independence and test their limits. As a child care provider it’s my job to teach them from right from wrong. They simply just need guidance through their ever growing minds. Talking to them and telling them what they did was wrong is the first step. Of course we all know all children are different and not every child will listen but if you understand and connect with the child you yourself will understand why he / she acted that way. I limit giving ‘timeouts’ to young children, I find that it lowers their self-esteem. As with their young minds they don’t completely understand that sitting in a corner by them selves is suppose to teach them something. They just feel embarrassment. We adults should find the reason why the child is acting the way he/she shouldn’t be and from there we work things out. I talk to them eye to eye level and explain what is going on. Take the object away from him/her and loose the privilege that she/he is entitled to. We can’t blame children why they act that way. After all we are their role models they do what we do and say what we say.
Programs:
Children are like sponges they absorb quick! In my program I offer age appropriate developmental toys, activities and games. I have a solid all day curriculum that I follow for children 15 months and up. I have art, music, physical, math and science. I have a weekly lesson plan and a monthly theme that children enjoy. I speak fluent Filipino (tagalog), a little bit of Spanish so I put this into my program. We count in English, Spanish and Filipino. I encourage children to learn other languages, these enable them to understand and explore different cultures. Crayons, pencils, markers and paper are accessible to children all day, children are welcome to free hand draw when they are not interested on the planned activities that is plan for the day. I don’t have any schedule that I follow simply bcoz I follow their schedules. They are changed and get fed on their own natural schedule. I do offer tummy times and baby toys for them to develop with others.
Potty Training:
Toilet training is a hard work. Both the parents and I would have to work together in order to be successful. I have successfully potty-trained children within 2-10 days frame time. When the child is showing readiness then it’s time. I think if the parent works with me then I don’t think there shouldn’t have no problem at all.
If you visited or if you're using a childcare provider found on DaycareBear, do not hesitate to leave a review. This will most certainly help other parents!
