Since play is one of the most important ways that children learn, play experiences will be an essential part of your child’s day in my family child care home. I believe in working with the children and their family to provide individualized care. My home offers children real life adventures like feeling the grass between their toes and making pictures in their own unique ways. Creativity plays an important role in my home.
My approach to caring for children includes encouraging them to problem-solve, whether it is to resolve a dispute between friends or to figure out how to line up all the dominos before they fall. Promoting children’s self-esteem is one of the primary goals. I feel I can help children develop trust by meeting basic needs without a wait, providing a routine, and offering possibilities for learning to cope with new situations and people.
I will encourage the development of autonomy by offering choices to the child, accepting the child’s decision. Allowing him/her to do what he/she is capable of doing, and setting up the environment for success and allowing the children to “fail” in a setting of support and acceptance, with encouragement to try again. I will support children’s initiative by having positive responses to their ideas, giving honest answers to their questions, providing opportunities to explore, emphasizing the process not the product, extending the children’s ideas, and providing different types of creative expression.
