Creating Affirming Environment

 Creating Affirming Environment

There are many way to create and affirm the environment in the child care center. This week will be creation a family calendar that provides each family member birthday and the birthday of the children. This calendar will help the children to remember birthdays and we can make birthday cards for the children as a daily activity or monthly to connect to the family.  The center will place the birthday calendar in the classroom to use as training and education to help the children learn the day of the weeks and months of the years, but as an addition activity when a birthday come on that day we can sing Happy Birthday and make birthday cards. On the calendar the child picture can be places on that day to remind the class who birthday will be next and when.  Reward day can be a party day if more than one child birthday come within the month. The reward point can be rewards for behavior, good condition and homework.  One day can be set aside as cupcake day and the family and parent can come to the center to have a birthday cupcake with the children on that their child birthday. The birthday will be set up as a family history background to identity children family line and culture. The space will be provided in the classroom to place picture of family member, birthday parties, and any item that relate to cerebration the family history. The calendar will be a large board that we can change out each month and write on to change to day of the week and month. My goals in this Child Care Center are to provide an environment that will help family, children and teacher connect in a learning environment.  When the children at the center see the family connection by creation their own history.
