PROJECT 1 - PLAN, DESIGN, AND IMPLEMENT TWO CHILDCARE PROGRAMS
This project will guide you in planning, designing, developing and implementing three (3) programs for children in the childcare centre.
Assessment Requirements: To complete this task, you will need access to:
- A regulated childcare centre
- Three (3) children of varying ages
- Childcare Program: Planning, Design & Implementation Form (provided via intranet link)
- A vocational workplace supervisor to confirm completion of the project in the workplace
This project is divided into five steps. Each step is outlined with detailed steps and guidance to help you successfully complete each task. These five steps are as follows:
Step 1: Pre-planning assessment
Identify the three (3) children you will be working with on this project.
Conduct a brief assessment of the children's learning, play and care needs to guide you in planning a childcare program for each of them.
Step 2: Consultation and Planning
In this step, you are required to complete a series of consultation. You are required to consult with the following people:
a) Consult with the children about their play and learning experiences. Use this information to help you develop a learning program that is reflective of their interests, preferences and needs, and to make sure that relevant materials are provided in the learning program to support their participation.
b) Consult with family members about the children's strengths and weaknesses, and general learning and play needs to assist you in developing a learning program that is relevant to each child.
c) Consult with other educators in the centre to help you plan and implement developmentally appropriate curriculum for the groups of children you will be working on for this project.
Step 3: Designing
A template is provided for you to complete your childcare program. A checklist is also provided in step 3 of the Planning, Design & Implementation Form to guide you as you complete your program design. Make sure all items in the checklist are met to ensure successful completion of the relevant unit requirements for this task. Complete Step 3 in the Planning, Design & Implementation Form.
Step 4: Implementation
Implement your program design. Make sure your vocational workplace supervisor is able to witness and observe you complete this project as you will be requiring his or her signature to confirm your successful completion of the said task in the workplace.
To document his or her confirmation, complete step 4 of the Planning, Design & Implementation Form, and have your supervisor affix his complete name and signature, as well as the date signed, after you complete the implementation of your program.
Step 5: Post-implementation evaluation
Step 5 will guide you in evaluating the childcare program you have planned, designed and implemented throughout steps 1 to 4.
PROJECT 2 - PHOTO DOCUMENTATION
This project will guide you in collecting photos from the centre to demonstrate successful completion of the following outlined tasks to be performed in your vocational workplace.
This project is divided into three areas:
1. Learning Materials
2. Learning Environments
3. Indoor and Outdoor Environments
You will also be provided with guide questions to assist you in ensuring you submit the correct evidence in demonstrating completion of the required tasks.
Area 1: Learning Materials
The learning materials you use in your activities with the children should be selected and arranged strategically to meet the program's learning objectives. This section will guide you in compiling evidence that you have complied with all the relevant requirements regarding the selection, arrangement and use of learning materials in the centre.
Take a photo of the materials used in your activities with the children, and provide a brief description how the materials photographed meet the requirements outlined below. Do this by inserting your photo and completing the table below.
Area 2: Learning Environments
It is part of your responsibilities as a childcare educator to manage and maintain the learning environments to support every child's play and learning needs while ensuring compliance to the centre's standards, policies, and procedures.
Step 1: Implement learning environment modifications by setting up the physical environment according to the checklist below to guide your completion of this task.
Step 2: Take photo/photos demonstrating each of the requirements outlined above. Use the space provided on the next page to insert your photos.
Follow-up questions:
1. How does the learning environment in photo 1 provide appropriate levels of challenge where children are encouraged to explore, experiment and take appropriate risks in their learning?
2. How does the learning environment in photo 2 provide opportunities for children to immerse themselves in self-directed play?
3. How does the learning environment in photo 3 provide appropriate levels of challenge where children are encouraged to explore?
4. How is photo 4 a literacy-enriched environment (including home languages and English)?
5. How do the learning environments in the photos you've submitted encourage interactions between children as well as accommodating a child's need for privacy, solitude or quiet?
Area 3: Indoor and Outdoor Environment
1.1 Indoor Environment
Take a photo of the indoor play and learning environment demonstrating the requirements described below:
Task 1: Describe two (2) ways the children's works are displayed meaningfully in the photo submitted.
Explain how the design of the photographed indoor environment is responsive to the interests and abilities of each child.
Task 2: Explain how the photographed indoor environment demonstrates vibrancy, flexibility and support to the children's learning.
Explain how the photographed indoor environment promotes appreciation of the natural environment among the children.
1.2 Outdoor Environment
Take a photo of the outdoor play and learning environment demonstrating the requirements described below:
Task 3: Explain how the design of the photographed outdoor environment is responsive to the interests and abilities of each child.
Task 4: Explain how the photographed outdoor environment demonstrates vibrancy, flexibility and support to the children's learning.
