Zero
to Three- Dr. Jerlean Daniel is the executive director of the
National Association for the Education of Young Children and was the director
of a center for 18. Dr. Daniel shared some insights and information that caught
my eyes and my understanding. She talked about the qualifications of a good
child day provider working with young children and families. Dr Daniel stated
how parents and child care providers can work together to affect the welfare of
children. One of the questions was asked was what’s the meaning of a quality
child care center? Dr. Daniel,” There is nothing too small or large to talk
about the well fare of a child, even if the two parties feel a little
uncomfortable with it.” The most valuable tool there is the relationship
between the child care provider and the parent.
A parent who is curious and anxious about who is caring for their
child’s while they are apart from each other. Dr. Daniel also explained that it
is essential for parents to ask questions and keep an eye out on her child’s
well fare. It is extremely important to respect each other opinions and ideas.
Dr. Daniel talked about that most parents think of child care providers as, a
baby sitters. Child care providers does not get nearly the amount of wages they
deserve, and the parent’s feel comfortable when they drop their child off and
realized they can trust the child care givers.
Dr. Daniel also mentioned that if the parent does
not feel comfortable in leaving the child with the caregivers it is time to go.
It is extremely important to look for a child care program that workers are
talkative and communicate easily. The
most insight I got out of Zero to Three podcast was when Dr. Daniel Stated,”
Look for the small matters and situations because they can develop into large
ones.” This is so true and important for me as a professional in the field of
early childhood education.
Describe
in particular the additional information about issues of equity and excellence
you acquired from your international sources
If you walk into a classroom and the child care
providers have just one toy on the selves. This produces a problem between the
children while at play. Because the children will fuse over who had the toy. When there is a lack in equipment the situation
can cause a problem between the students. Children need something to do, and it
is essential for there is an equal
amount of toys on the self. There should be similar toys to keep down confusion
between the children while, they are interaction. Research has studied that 20%
of the family cannot afford child care service because of the economy. When the parent cannot afford child care it
makes it hard for them to go to war because there is no day care. Another experience the child has to go from place
to place because the same relative cannot keep the child. The parents need to
ask questions about the child’s care givers. How long the child provider has
been working with children and because the child’s needs to be attached to
his/her care givers? It is not good for
the child to be moved from room to room and different care givers. Parents need
to be able to visit the child at any giving time. Every child is treated with
the highest of respect whether the child has a disability, a delay, or specific
needs. Care givers need suppose to write a child off or never give up on
children.
