Developing, implementing, and engaging children in various educational and recreational activities that promote their physical, emotional, and social development
An important part of our day is to maintain and adhere to an effective balance in schedule
Balance between rest periods, active play, instruction, and meal time is our goal
My relationship and clear communication with the families of all children in my care is of utmost importance
Parents need to feel that they have made the right choice in allowing me the privilege of being there to love, to teach, and to protect their children
Developing guidelines for children with special needs such as: children dx with down syndrome, autism, hearing loss, and type 1 diabetes
Crucial requirements are navigated on a daily basis and communicated consistently with parents throughout the day
Collaborating with parents and families to create individualized care plans that meet the unique needs and preferences of each child
This is one of the most important communications in my opinion
This includes but is not limited to: dietary requirements, dietary preferences, allergies, diabetic testing/individual menu planning, prescribed medications, and expression of individuality and creativity
Personal hygiene routines to ensure the well-being of all children in my care
This includes consistent potty training routines and positive reinforcement techniques to promote patience and positive behaviors
Implementing positive discipline strategies to manage behavior and foster a supportive and respectful relationship between children and adults
Teaching mindfulness through baby zumba, yoga, and chess
We juice fruits and vegetables and plant and nurture our little garden
We have dance parties and celebrate big and little wins like using our manners, waiting patiently for our turn, and kind gestures towards others, just to name a few
