Computers and computer software can ease the administrative tasks and enhance the creativity of childcare programs. Childcare administrative software programs are easy to learn and use and allow operators to manage invoicing and bookkeeping as well as student and classroom data. Software programs designed for use by children can reinforce literacy, creativity, and motor skills. Both of these features enhance the management of the childcare center. | |
Child abuse and neglect is a significant problem in the United States. It is the purpose of this course to train those who care for children to be aware of the existence of this problem, be able to recognize the signs of abuse and neglect, report the problem to the proper authority and to prevent further occurrences of these behaviors | |
Conflict is a fact of everyday life for adults as well as children. The way in which we deal with the conflict in our lives has a direct impact on our happiness and quality of life. Disagreements may be unavoidable but the destructive effects of unmanaged conflict are not. Unresolved conflicts can cause negative physical symptoms such as headaches, muscle tension, tightness in the chest, hives and rapid heart rate. Many of these symptoms are due to unexpressed anger. It's possible to resolve the conflict in our lives without internalizing anger or directing it outward and causing hurt to others. Managed conflict is a healthy way to bring important issues to light and strengthen your relationships with other people in your life. | |
In todays workplace, good interpersonal communication skills are an important ingredient for success. Childcare providers need to have good relationships among staff members as well between staff and parents. This course is designed to help you evaluate the quality of interpersonal communication in your workplace as well as assess your own communication skills and style, and provide you with helpful information about becoming a good communicator and a valuable member of your workplace team. | |
Wherever there are energetic, active children there is the potential for accidents and injuries. While close supervision and observation of children are the best ways to prevent injuries in the first place, there will be occasions when children in our care are hurt or injured. In the first part of this course we will discuss the best ways to prevent injuries to children, and in the second part we will describe the most effective immediate treatment (first aid) of injuries that do occur. | |
The health and safety of children is a primary concern to parents, teachers, and caregivers. They share the responsibility for making sure that children are served wholesome meals and snacks, are engaged in physical activities, get plenty of rest, and are protected from harm. The role of the childcare provider, with respect to illness, is not to be doctor or nurse, but to observe children's behavior, note sudden changes in their mood, and respond to parents' questions about illness with some degree of confidence. | |
It's important for parents and adults who care for children to understand how children of different ages experience and deal with the divorce of their parents. Children need help getting through the process and adjusting to a different family life afterwards. | |
Childcare workers have not always been thought of as professionals. Some people believe that "anyone" can perform this very important job. We know that there are many positive qualities and important skills necessary to be an effective childcare teacher. Developing these qualities and practicing these skills helps create high quality early childhood professionals. Young children in our care deserve to have great teachers. | |
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) occurs in babies in early infancy. We do not know what causes SIDS, but we have some knowledge of the risk factors that may lead to this heartbreaking, unexpected outcome. A risk factor is an association, not a cause. Understanding these risk factors has allowed us to develop practices that parents and other caregivers can adopt to help prevent these tragic deaths. Because not all SIDS deaths are preventable it is also important that we learn how to deal compassionately with the grief of caregivers, parents and children. | |
For infants and toddlers, supportive relationships with parents, caregivers, and others are necessary for physical survival as well as healthy social and emotional development. Relationships are the way that children come to know the world and their role in it. They provide the foundation of love and trust necessary to comfort, protect, and encourage children. It is through relationships that children develop social and emotional health, which includes the ability to play, form satisfying connections with others, communicate, learn, overcome challenges, and experience emotions. Nurturing relationships are crucial for the development of trust, empathy, compassion, generosity, and conscience. | |
Stress is a life event or situation that causes imbalance in an individual's life. Some stress is normal and even healthy. An unhealthy response to stress occurs when the demands of the stressor exceed a person's ability to cope. Often stress results from a situation that we are unable to control. Feeling in control of one's life helps minimize stress. |
