I am working with the Early Learning Coalition on part of a QRIS Pilot Project which is basically making parents aware of quality daycare's by eventually giving daycare's a star rating!!!
I attend numerous training's and meetings at the Early Learning Coalition. To keep myself up to date with childhood education. I agree 100% with the Montessori Curriculum and am trying to incorporate that into my daycare.
Children constantly learn throughout the days activities. That is why we will be doing age appropriate play, with clay, play dough, finger painting, drawing, painting, colouring, singing, reading books, writing, building blocks, puzzles and playing outdoors are a typical day of events. As some activities can be messy I encourage comfortable, washable play clothes every day. |
Meals & Snacks
Healthy nutrition is an important part of a child's development. I emphasize fresh and natural foods such as fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grain breads. Parents are welcome to prepare special birthday or holiday treats with advance notice. Please bring enough for the entire group. NO latex balloons please. |
Behaviour & Discipline
I try to create an environment that is supportive and respectful of each child's needs.
I use different methods of discipline for each situation. Children will not be subjected to discipline which is sever, humiliating or frightening.
My goal is to help each child develop a strong sense of self discipline and self esteem.
Discipline techniques include:
*positive reinforcement
*redirection
*time-out
