A private service in my local area is a private nursery, this means that government does not pay for anything towards it and funds are raised through the people attending. This nursery follows the early years foundation stage and is for children 0 – 5. E2; Describe how each of the types of settings identified in E1 aims to support children and their families. Primary School: By 2010 all schools should provide access to a range of 'extended services' for children, young people and families. A school offering access to extended services works in partnership with its local authority and Children's Trust, as well as with other local schools and partners from the voluntary, community and private sectors, to offer access to: • a varied range of before and after school activities, including study support such as homework clubs, sport, music, arts in a safe place to be for primary and secondary schools • childcare 8am-6pm, 48 weeks a year for primary schools, on school
Homeschool vs. Public School In the United States, by law everyone must attend school. Are there exceptions to this rule, it is a law that is strictly enforced. By law, the ages in which one must attend school is between 5 and 16, thus it is the responsibility of the parents to make sure that their children are an active student in some type of educational system whether it is homeschool or public school. Equally, Homeschooling and Public schools are effective ways of education, conditional upon one’s academic needs. Follow me on this educational journey into both.
This is also a way to keep them out of trouble. A benefit for the families is that they have free childcare so they can go to work etc. The voluntary sector supports less fortunate families. Barnardos, a children's charity helps less fortunate families. They aid with adoption/fostering and give children without a family, a home and a family.
There is a famous quote by John F. Kennedy “The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.” As a parent, people around us might view home schooling as better especially those that home schooled as a child growing up. Most parents’ think that having their child interact with other children is important, but that can be accomplished after school as well, by playing or engaging in recreational activities. Public school encourages socialization everyday and developing new friendships, they are also interacting with children
The early year’s foundation stage have particular targets which they are required to meet, although these are introduced in the notion of learning to play which assists teachers to identify the learning aspects within children’s playtime. There are many ways in which learning through play can be introduced into the early year’s sector with many of them being incorporated into ordinary classroom learning. There are many differences in the way the early year’s foundation sector is set out and delivered. Within England this curriculum is available for all children aged between 3 and 5 whereas in Whales this is known as the Early Years Foundation Phase and is set out for all children aged between 3 and 7. Scotland is very similar in the sense that children receive their early years education along with their early primary stage education.
Schools support both families and children. They support children by providing them with an education and care based on each child’s individual need. Families are supported in a way were they are constantly in contact with the school and staff involved with the care of their children, this maybe were the families are invited in to the setting to for a meeting with their child’s teacher this is usually called ’parents evening’ this gives teachers and families a chance to discuss any information about the child. Another type of setting is a ‘private setting’ these are usually profit making settings provided by private providers, an example of a ‘private setting’ is a private day nursery. A private day nursery is regularly inspected to make sure that the health and safety of all the children is maintained.
In order to assure successful preschool programs, maintaining qualified teachers is crucial. Therefore, the wages of preschool teachers must be raised and their pay scale aligned with that of kindergarten teachers. The most significant role of a preschool teacher is preparing children for kindergarten by introducing concepts they will explore further in kindergarten and elementary school. Preschool teachers put in average of 35 to 40 hours (or more) per week teaching children aged three to five years old social skills, reading, writing, math, science, and physical education in age appropriate curricula. They plan and implement activities to meet the physical, emotional, intellectual and social needs of the children in the program.
Playgroups are non-profit-making groups, they raise money from the public and give children under the age of five an opportunity to play with anything of interest. The sessions are two to three hours long. Voluntary organisations may also provide some of the statutory services and will be paid by the local authorities.” (This reference is from the Cache level 3 Child Care and Education book on page 4, 4th edition, by Penny Tassoni). Parents could participate if they wish to contribute in their child’s learning but they would need to
If there are more children they should also be taught to respect each other, share and take turns. Some parents prefer the one-on-one contact an in-home care provides for their children, especially if the child is an infant. Parents with full-time careers may find that their work schedules require them to hire an in-home care provider for their child. Parents can hire a nanny to care for the need of the child; the nanny is someone who works on a live-in or live-out basis performing child care and perhaps minimal household duties related to child care. Nannies hired through agencies usually have minimal training in caring for young children.
Many people believe that if a child has Special Educational Needs he/she should be educated in a special school. However the Special Educational Needs Act 2001 was intended to consolidate the SEN child’s right to a mainstream education. “The Act has amended the Education Act 1996 and transformed the statutory framework for inclusion into a positive endorsement of inclusion” (DfES/0774/2001, page 1). With this revised act the views of parents are taken into account in each individual case, if they want their child to attend a mainstream school then everything possible should be done to provide it. Inclusion and SEN has an impact on every aspect of learning within schools, no
