This course helped me have a understanding how to break down things and have a better understanding what I need to look for when it comes time to buy a house or make big purchases
After taking this course, it helped me explore and do better research and it helped me with being able to write assignments better.
One day if I decided to apply for a director's position or open up my own in home daycare, I understood all the rules, regulations and responsibilities of what it takes to run one
When dealing with different behaviors in the classroom we use Conscious Discipline which has many ideas and ways to help a child who is dealing with different behaviors we have different breathing icons and visuals we show them to use when they are upset, we also have what we call keeping you safe rituals and we have an area called the peace place where they can go and calm down and look at a book and come back to the group when they are ready
In our program we already do observations on our children in different areas as well as doing different assessments throughout the school year to help us understand what areas we can work on with the children in our care to be able to succeed We do ASQ/ DECA/ Check Points and Observations
