Middle Childhood Play Memories

I remember being too short for the monkey bars and the kids used to tease me, because I couldn't grab the bars so couldn't hold on and swing like the other kids. One day I went home and told my mom and she said girl you can do it try hard every day. Then finally one day I said you can do it the kids are not going to laugh at me again. So I build up a lot of confidence and did it. I think this experience help me to keep confidence in myself and in others.

Middle Childhood Memories

I remember being in the 6Th grade in Mr. King class and having animal day on Friday's he would have someone bring in different animals every Friday's. I would get scared , because I didn't know what to expect on those days. One Fridays someone bought in some very very big rats and it scared me so bad I didn't want to look at them. Then I finally built up some confidence and self assurance to hold one and I was OK. From this experience it made me a better person to be more trust worthy, to have confidence in myself and control.

Scenario:

We have notice that two of my preschool children would always come to class dressed in pajamas or extra clothing under their own clothing me and my staff member find it very difficult to keep helping the children to restroom and to keep taking off the other clothes. Sometime the children would over heat in these clothes. We have had several meeting with their mom telling her not to bring children in pajamas as a daily wear, to wear appropriate clothing and not to put extra clothes under the other clothes it is too much clothing.


How would you handle this situation?

Supervision Assessment

What are your strength that are most helpful to your staff?

• Trustworthiness- Trust is a key value in being a director. Its a vital part of running a business. Trust is the base to everything and without it things woulds be in my opinion chaotic. So in an early childhood program a director should show interest ,compassion and enthusiasm. Show that you are loving caring and interactive. Communicate and assure.

What additional skills would you like to gain?

• The skills I would like to gain would be a better organized person so that I could have every thing at my finger tips. Because sometime things get a little hectic then I tend to get Unorganized, you need to have good organizations skills to do a good as a director.

Core Value

Trustworthiness- Trust is a key value in operating with others especially children. Its a vital part of running a business. If someone cant or feels as if you cant be trusted the entry level of your business/program will not prosper. Trust is the base to everything and without it things woulds be in my opinion chaotic. So in an early childhood program a director should show intrest ,compassion and enthusiasm. Show that you are loving caring and interactive. Communicate and assure.


Confidendce-What do you think of a person with low confidence? Well if someone is not confident with themselves i myself would not be able to put my confidence in their work or operating skills. Confidence is a great thing to have and once you have it no one should have the power to take it away from you. Having confidence ensures a parent/employer that you are able to withstand critisism and work up to your best ability. Showing that you are proud and have high selfesteem in your business and skills is what will draw parents/employers in rather thatn scare them away with out it.


Loyalty-Everyone wants someone they can depend on. Especially when it comes to their children. Showing that you are a loyal fun loving person will encourage parents to leave their children with you. Stand by your work, be there to answer any questions that parents may need to be answered. Show that you have a deep dedication for your work and your parents. Make sure the children and everyone else who enters your facility feel warm and welcomed. Never turn your back on your work or anything that involves it.
