First I would like to say how accessible and convenient Small World makes to its parents and students. Small World opens at 5:45 a.m. and closes at 5:45 p.m. to help working parents with extended hours. I think this is fantastic considering the surrounding facilities have a strict policy of 8-5 operating hours. Each caregiver that is employed by Small World is given a state licensed background check, a reference check, and formal interviews, along with a drug screening before employment is finalized. Small World ensures safety, love, and quality care in every aspect of childcare and security/privacy is nothing short of just that!
Robin, and the ages of children in this room are between six to sixteen months. They were in the classroom The areas that I score were 32 in which include this subscales: the space and furnishings, personal care routines, listening and talking, activities, interaction, program structure. I am very impress with the center. I notice that the teacher and the stuff in general have an excellent parents communication. They really involve parent in their children activities and also they talk about children routines and how they can improve that time with the children.

How does it reflect the scope and purpose of the sector Nursery A nursery tends to be for working families as they take children from six months till five years and run sessions between 7am and 6pm. They follow the EYFS to ensure that each child has an individual approach to their learning and development. Nurseries will work along the parents to keep a similar routine as home within the setting and all the child’s needs are meet. These settings are Ofsted registered and follow government guidelines. Childminder A child minder is similar to a nursery in that they can offer long hours for working families.
Schools these days have many resources available to them. Most parents or guardians when looking for a school that they would like to send a child to would visit a schools website and read all the policies, and activities a child can get involved with. They would also see how their child would be educated at the school. Once a child is enrolled at the school the parent or guardian will keep a close eye on the website for updates. Most schools will send out monthly newsletters so that anything on the website is handed out or put on a notice board outside the school.
Observation Assignment #1 Observe the Students in the Class Type of Setting & Grade Level: The grade level I observed for this assignment was head start at Jones Elementary. The head start program is similar to that of a preschool, children are ages three through five and classes have students with and without special needs. My observation settings were both in the classroom and outside on the playground. While inside the classroom, the majority of my time with the students was spent during their morning circle time and their play time which they are divided into groups for. While observing outside, I interacted with the students while they played amongst one another.

I was able to observe a class of 3 year olds and noticed how the teachers interacted with the children and that they were very friendly, caring, and encouraging. I was also happy to see that the teachers were experienced teachers and the children were in an environment that was warm, clean, and safe. Inside the class room there was 20 children and 3 adults which 2 had their bachelor degree in Early Childhood education. I looked very closely observing the classroom and looking for all the health and safety concerns. I like that the entire exit signs were visible and that there was parent update information board in the classroom.
