...Brittany Mobley Ms. Amy Warren ENGL 1101 20 March 2012 My college major and why writing about this topic will be beneficial to me: My major is Early Childhood Education. After I graduate I want to eventually open my own daycare center but before that I will probably get some teaching done first. Researching about the most effective teaching methods will help me run a more beneficial daycare center in the future. My purpose: The purpose of my final research paper is to educate my audience of what the most effective teaching method(s) are. I want my reader to know what the benefits are for children whose daycare teachers use the Montessori teaching method. I will prove to them that the Montessori teaching methods are very beneficial to infant-toddler and primary students and that it should be one of the leading methods used. My working thesis and any assumptions: Childcare providers for children ages 0-4 should follow the Montessori teaching method because teaching methods used in children’s early ages has a long term impact on them. My approach to the subject of my paper: In the structure of my paper I will first define what a childcare/daycare is, what is actually considered to be a daycare. After I will tell about different types of teaching methods used and what some outcomes from previous studies have shown about different ones. I will then prove why the Montessori teaching method is the best one to use for children ages 0-4 and show the benefits that children will have...

...documentary ((1998, April 14), women often resorted to tying their children to fences and bedposts in the morning. The third challenge is even the government provides some national daycares but it was the experiment. They did not have enough experiences to support children’s development. With the end of the war in 1945, there are some changes. The first point is men forced women to quit their jobs. Secondly, families...

...Daycare: Good or Bad? Hope Plummer English 122: English Composition 2 Instructor Larry Holden 3/02/2014 Daycare: Good or Bad? In this day and age, more women are becoming more active in the workplace which forces them to leave their children in a daycare atmosphere. The first few years of a child's life are detrimental to their development. In general, traditional daycare settings do not have a reputation for being emotionally healthy, so we must ask ourselves the question, is public daycare worth the risks? In this paper, I will provide compelling examples as to why I believe public daycare settings are unhealthy for positive cognitive and social development as well as my suggestions for what type of childcare would be healthier. One of the reasons parents opt to keep their children out of daycare is due to the amount of germs their child will get exposed to on a daily basis. 'Children in day care centers are more likely to catch an infection than kids who do not attend day care. Children who go to day care are often around other kids who may be sick.'(Kaneshiro, 2012) This is partly due to the high number of children in each classroom and caregivers not using the proper sanitary actions necessary with high volumes of children. There are simply too many children to look after. This leaves many classes understaffed. I personally worked at a daycare for a decent amount of time and I can vouch for that fact firsthand. There...

...your child. There is a home-based daycare and center-based daycare available for childcare options. When choosing which childcare option you want, they need to look at the health and safety guidelines each one needs to follow. When using a family home-based childcare it is necessary to be aware that the safety guidelines are more lenient than a center-based childcare. Family childcare sites are not designed to be used as a childcare facility, and, therefore, may not be as safe as a group or center-based care (Wasserman et al. 1998). Safety procedures will not be posted, but general guidelines are followed. Family based home child cares are operated by a parent, who wants to remain home with their own children. Providers' knowledge on safety within their home could be limited to the licensing requirements. These requirements vary from state to state. Center-based childcare must be stricter on following the safety guidelines than home-based childcare. Upon entering a childcare facility, you should be able to see the safety guidelines (e.g. fire drill, exit routes, missing child procedures). Within the center, various checklists should be apparent: diapering check-in, checkout sheets, and hand-washing checklists. In a family-based childcare, a checklist will not always be visible. In daycare centers, different from family daycare homes, there are boundaries between the children’s play area and the other areas of the facility. Daycare centers have strict restriction...

...Childcare and Education Preshay Weatherspoon English 122 Prairie Markussen April 7, 2014 Childcare and Education Some may disagree that the best place for children ages three and under are day care and preschool programs. In early child care education there are many benefits for children. My argument is to state the different advantages in early education. The results of the Parental Childcare and children’s Educational Attainment study shows that with the control of time, the health of a child will not have an effect on the age in which he can enroll in school. After controlling for endogeneity the results of the study were profound, and that childcare time should never be omitted because it can bias the study. While the health of a child does not factor into him or her being able to attend school according to the health service applications and immunization program for childcare providers, many childcare providers believe that immunization of children is highly important but they do not have the education, training, or information needed about these infectious diseases. Children have about seventeen scheduled immunizations before the age of 24 months, and laws require childcare providers to maintain the records and enforce immunization standards but not to educate themselves about it. This study measured if there was truth to childcare providers seeing the importance of immunization, and the value of an education seminar or some sought of teaching to provide childcare...

...Child care is the nurturing of a child provided by a parent or by an organization such as daycare. Child caring is different in all cultures, how a child might be brought up in North America maybe completely different in the Middle East. Everyone has different views on how a child should be raised which leads to many controversial social and political issues (Encyclopedia). Child care is also provided through early childhood education offered by nursery schools, and kindergarten programs. Child care has developed over the years and if it wasn't for some the policies that we have now women would not have the independence that they have now. The question is are these policies really enough for families to raise there children where everything...

...There are not many things different from a Home Daycare to a Head Start Program, some of the differences are the teachers in a Head Start program are Chicago Public School employees and can teach up to first grade in an Elementary School. As for the teachers at a Home Daycare they can go to different daycare but if they want to teach in a school they would have to go to school and get a degree in early childhood. A Head Start program is only four hours a day which you can pick the am session or the pm session. Within those four hours they have art where they can play with blocks, paint a picture, write a story, of draw on the tablets and when it is gym time they go outside (if weather permits) and play. The teachers keep the children busy so...

...The Lack of Early Childhood Education in Minority Neighborhoods Gildon R Turner AIU Online Abstract This country prides itself in being a better place for people to come and work better and to get a better education. We are falling far too short on both counts more so with education. We are still not separated and equal. This paper will talk to you about the differences in the minority neighborhoods and why our government should be taking a closer look at the lack of early childhood education and how this education is an investment into our future. The Lack of Early Childhood Education in Minority Neighborhoods Early childhood education is an investment in our future. Haycock, K (2011) stated that, “In minority neighborhoods there are less early childhood educational facilities and if they exist low-income and minority students are less likely than their white and more affluent peers to have the teachers with the proper academic background to teach the subject matter they are teaching”. Due to the shape of the economy at the present time, it is even harder for minority children to receive this type of education. Most are one parent families and are not making the money it would cost to send their children to a good head start program. “So when black and Latino twelfth-graders perform at about the same level as white eight graders, it is not just a “minority” problem; it’s a national problem...

...to do for research?” This was because, the whole time that I was anxiously scrambling back and forth about which study I wanted to do, there was already one right in front of my eyes the whole time. For the past few months I have been working at a daycare, a place where children are dropped off by their parents when they need to do things on their own and can pick them up whenever is necessary. The daycare that I work at is family ran and takes place inside their very own home. The inside of the house portrays a peaceful setting with warm, cozy colors in the living room to make you feel relaxed and bright, energetic colors in other rooms that leave you feeling happy and comfortable. The daycare provider, Debbie, has been working with children for 40 years. She is a very well known person throughout the community and treats the kids she works with as if they are her own. After thinking for a while about what I wanted to do as a study, I decided that I wanted to do something involving children and the relations/interactions that they have with their parents. Seeing how I work at a daycare, I do not really get to see much of the interaction that the children and parents have with each other. That is the whole point of a daycare, parents separating from their children for a period of time so they can get whatever it is that needs to be done accomplished. So one may ask, “How do you plan on finding out such behaviors when you do not get to see them together?” And that’s the...

...Early Childhood Education Jenelle Johnson PSYC2700 - Child Development U03a1 Early Childhood Education Capella University December, 2014 Early Childhood Education Early childhood education is education that is geared for children three to eight years old, however, early childhood education can start as early as infants at birth through the age of eight years old. Early childhood programs were developed for all children who could not otherwise afford quality preschool or daycare programs. It is the belief that all children benefit from education at an early age. Early education is important to the development of these young children. These programs offer assistance, resources, and education to both the children and parents. Programs all over the world have been implemented to help young impoverished children have an early start to education. This paper will discuss the policy of the Head Start Act, the benefits of receiving early childhood education, and characteristics of a good high quality early childhood program. Early childhood is an important time for children as they grow and learn so much. So many important factors such as health and nutrition, economic status, education and daycare programs, and positive effective parenting are all huge factors that can have an effect of the development process of the young child. Because of the importance of all these variables, programs have been developed and policies have been made to assure that all children have...

...The Need for Early Education 1 The Need for Early Education The Need for Early Childhood Education Amanda Snyder University of Phoenix The Need for Early Education 2 The Need for Early Childhood Education Early childhood education has many benefits; the most important one teaching young children the necessary learning skills they need to grow socially, and developmentally; children are growing and learning every day so the earlier they start their education the better. The need to provide more children early education is huge, no matter what the family income is. Every child deserves to have a chance to excel in their own future. This paper will address the benefits of early childhood education and the different types of programs available. The positive affect that can happen to children attending early childhood education centers such as head start, pre-k, or a local daycare center are extraordinary. The need for this early education is crucial to children’s futures. “Research shows the benefits to the child include improved readiness to learn, improved early literacy, decreased need for remedial or special education placement, and improved cognitive development. Long term, research shows a stronger likelihood to graduate from high school, improved academic confidence, and more participation in post-secondary education.” (Pennsylvania...

...failed businesses have landed in path of demise because of their lack of environmental awareness, failed marketing attempts, as well as strategic planning. Nowadays, one of the industries that we have seen take a plunge is the Daycares Market& Early Childhood Education. The main reason that this industry is experiencing this plunge is because of the decreased numbers of governmental funding to help parents pay for the services as well as the lack quality of services. Another reason is due to the time frames that daycares are open is not parallel to the time-frames parents are working at the moment. Because of these reasons daycares are not seeing the growth or sustenance of revenue as they were years ago, parents are looking at other options of child care, and a lot of daycares have evolved into low quality standards. The National Bureau of Economic Research states how “it is critical to develop an understanding of the way the child care market operates and how it relates to quality. The issue is important because the average quality of center-based child care provided in the United States is thought to be mediocre, especially compared to the quality of care provided in other developed countries” (NBER, 2002). One well-known day care/early childhood education provider is La Petite Academy. La Petite Academy has been around since 1968 and has over 500 locations in the country. The tuition has been known to be pricey which usually results in a variety of people overlooking the...

...in Small Business Daycare centers are used most often by working parents, single mom’s and dad’s and sometimes stay at home parents who want some time to themselves a couple days a week. It’s a great alternative if you don’t have relatives that are available to watch your children that are not old enough to go to elementary school. Daycare centers should provide the emotional and social needs for babies that are crucial during the first two years of life in developing the learning structures of the brain. They provide a loving environment that will give your child a chance to grow and learn with other children their age and generally centers take kids as young as 6 weeks old to 6th grade. A center that has an after school program is another great way to supply additional income to the center by offering after school activities to keep kids busy until they are picked up by their parent after they are done working. Daycare centers that are not part of a big chain lack standard training for their personal. The person’s that are in the room’s with the younger kids are normally mothers, grandmothers or young adults that love kids but aren’t necessarily trained to watch them and nurture them during their development stages. Training should be a very big part of hiring teachers in daycare centers and it should be on-going where seminars should be attended or bring in some outside trainers that can help in staying current on what is expected from daycare teachers.
