Little Angel Child Care Center
Where our community comes together
There are 15 children here who
ages are from 6 months to age 2 years. They are such angels that they are just
heavenly to have here every day. They are learning and sharing their own little
ideas and thoughts by coloring, drawing, and paying attention to what is going
on around them. We have pictures on the walls of their own cultures and many
different books, to depict there family’s culture as well as others in the
community. (Derman- Sparks & Edwards, p. 46), states that by “using children
books in the anti-bias classroom helps to capture the heart, mind, and the
imagination of children”.
We have a variety of toys for
the children to share at play time that is off each child on choosing like
tricycles, scooters, cars, big trucks, dolls, etc.At the end of the day there is always the quiet room where everyone can join in together and discuss about their day. What they enjoyed or did not enjoy, did they have any problem with the children or the toys or if they were just having a bad day. This is the room where everything is sorted to whether everyone had a happy and productive day. From there we can figure out what we are doing right and what we are doing wrong. Whether we need to change anything as soon as possible or change over time with the changing in the early childhood field.
Hi Gloria,
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your post and I really like your idea about having a discussion at the end of the day to find out what happened during the day. Your children are quite young, from 6 months to 2 years old. Just curious, how do they communicate with each other and how do you encourage them in the discussion?

Hi Gloria,
ReplyDeleteI think it is really great for children to have a chance everyday to talk about the day that they had. I believe it is essential for children to learn how to express themselves, and share their emotions. The quiet room with some soft and calming music will help children calm down and focus. I think I will try to do that with my children to help us to be a greater team. Thank you for sharing.
