...ompetency Goal 1: Maintaining a Safe, Healthy Learning Environment When running a child care center, one of the most important things is to provide a quality learning environment for the children. It is necessary to keep in mind the steps and precautions needed to establish and maintain a safe and healthy learning environment. As a teacher of a young preschool class, I put all my effort into making sure I meet all these requirements. Every classroom is run different and it is important for parents to know what kind of environment they are putting their child in. Keep reading to get a further understanding of how I personally run my class and the steps I take to make sure my class meets the competency goal. One of my goals in the functional area of safe is to maintain a current and updated list of phone numbers for contacting parents and emergency services, such as poison control, fire department, and medical help. I also ask parents/guardians to inform me of any phone number changes. I also maintain first aid supplies and know the basic first aid procedures for young children, such as choking and treating cuts and wounds. I ensure that all safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers, are in place and operable. I also use a weekly safety list to ensure that I have checked all parts of my classroom to make sure it’s all safe. Also, I personally am always around to supervise the children in all indoor and outdoor activities. Lastly, I require written parental authorization...

...Competency Goal I To establish and maintain a safe, healthy learning environment Function Area 1: Candidate provides a safe environment to prevent and reduce injuries. Safe When first entering the room in the morning, I walk around and check the shelves and floor for any toys, trash, or broken materials that may have fallen or may not have been put up from the day before. In the classroom, I make sure that the first aid kit is placed beside the door and easily accessible at all times. We also teach the children pedestrian safety the first two weeks that school starts. We have monthly fire drills and there is a chart on the wall beside the door that shoes the primary and alternate routes when practicing fire drills. When we go outside to play, before any child gets on the playground, I make sure to look for fallen branches, trash, or broken glass that may be on the playground. I also make sure to walk around and supervise the children while on the playground, never sitting down. When an infant is asleep in their crib, I make sure to pull the side rail up and that the child is positioned on their back. I do this as way to help reduce the risk of SIDS. When changing an infant or toddler, I make sure to have everything ready before taking the child to the changing table. Once at the changing table, I make sure to never leave the child alone always have one hand on the child while changing the child. At the end of the day, I make sure the person that is picking up...

...Competency Goal 1 To establish and maintain a safe, healthy learning environment FA1: Safe Goals: • To provide an environment that is positive, nurturing, and encourages children to develop their own safe and healthy habits. • To provide safe environment to prevent and reduce injuries. • To report all incidents and accidents. Activities – Indoors Maintaining a safe environment for my class is very important. The first way to obtain this goal is to have a strong partnership with my parents. Everything I teach the children, I encourage the parents to reinforce. Having the children and parents well informed on our safety practices, makes it easier to keep it safe inside and outside the classroom. Activities – Outdoors I maintain a safe environment on the playground. The first step is to always have all the equipment checked. Having a professional annually inspect every aspect of the equipment ensures the safety of the children. When bringing the children to the playground there are several basic routines that we practice which increase the safety of our children. First, children must have a partner at all times. The children must hold their partner's hand and walk in twos. Activities-Indoors/Outdoors As a teacher I believe safety is one of the most important things to give to a child besides health and education. A child and adult should feel safe as soon as they walk into the building in the morning. I practice safety...

...Competency Goal 1: Safe, Healthy, Learning Environment In my child care setting, I work hard to provide all children with a safe and healthy learning environment. I research and follow strict standards available from the state related to preventing and reducing injury and illness, helping children feel safe, following sound nutrition and fitness practices, and creating an enriching learning environment. My goal is to set up and maintain an environment that reduces the risk of injury to children. Because children lack the judgment to avoid hazards and because children learn by doing and interacting closely with others and their environment, injury can happen frequently in a child care setting. I accomplish this goal by keeping furniture and equipment in good repair and only having age-appropriate materials available to children. I inspect my environment (inside and outside) every day and I alert my director when I see a potential hazard. If there is an injury, I practice the correct First Aid guidelines and I inform the parent and the office in an accident report. I make sure that children are always cared for by qualified, responsible and healthy adults, so I make sure that staff files are complete and up-to-date. I am also diligent about maintaining emergency cards on each child and making sure that only authorized persons are dropping off and picking up. I am also always watching my children for signs of child abuse and neglect. I also want children to feel safe in my...
