Child Development Center Observation
In 2013 I stared working for Child Development Centers Inc. The assistant site supervisor was great at modeling. During my training she did not just told me what to do or what it was expected of me. She took time to model and continually asked me if I had any questions. She communicated effectively and was proactive. The times where she corrected me she was kind and kept the focus on the task/issue that needed it improvement. She used sentence structures that begin with “It seems to me like… I would change… I feel like… and May I suggest…” The way she approached others was always with respect and kindness. She was very knowledgeable and resourceful. She took time to listen to her staff, gave feedback and asked for clarification if need it.

    The supervisor of the Mesa Children’s unit is well known for his easy disposition and caring demeanor. It’s evident by his interaction with his staff that he is highly invested in their personal and professional growth. He is known to be absent-minded especially when overwhelmed with his responsibilities and requires a lot of reminders from his team to stay on task. This supervisor is most closely aligned with a servant leader style of management. He embodies several of the ten principles of servant leaders including listening, empathy, healing, stewardship, growth, community building, and nurturing the spirit. Unfortunately, the supervisor lacks in the areas of awareness, persuasion, conceptualization, and foresight. He received his…

    I believe the most challenging aspect about this particular position is investigating a facility due to the allegations reported and properly documenting. When investigating a facility, one must be aware of their surroundings and properly multi-task because an investigation may involve talking to multiple individuals while receiving documents and presenting presenting facts. The main focus is to secure the child in that particular environment, by following all policies and procedures of the agency. This appeal to me because I've had a personal experience of child care negligence. When my daughter was younger she attended at child care facility that I trust and believe would properly care for my child. One day, I stopped by to check on her…

    In only forty-five minutes of observing a child a significant amount can be determined about their personality and skill sets. More specifically, their physical and motor development, cognitive and language processes, social and emotional skills, and the environment they could be surrounded by outside the observation time. The development of these processes can be observed through the actions and interactions a individual does or does not have with other people.…

    Originally, it was my intent to interview a large daycare facility in Birmingham. I had setup and arranged a day and time with Cathedral Daycare. As the appointed day approached, I tried to make contact with the director, but no one answered the phone. On my second attempt, the phone was hung up.

    ance. We learned a lot of theories and got to know a lot of psychologists who made an effort to explain the way children feel. There are 3 grand theories; Psychoanalysis (Freud), Behaviorism (Watson, Skinner, Pavlov) and Cognitive (Piaget). All this 3 theories explain the development of children from different prospectives. Freud’s theory of psychoanalysis becomes clear as to how he construed human character. Freud believed that human nature is basically deterministic, and largely dependent on the unconscious mind. Irrational forces and unconscious motivations drive the human mind to a unique conduct and performance.He claimed that unconscious mind affects the largest part of our thoughts and behavior and that all our emotions and actions have causes in our unconscious mind. Another scientist Erikson believed that personality develops in a series of stages. Unlike Freud’s theory of psychosexual stages, Erikson’s theory describes the impact of social experience across the whole lifespan. One of Erikson’s theories points is ego identity. Ego Identity is the sense of oneself as a distinct continuous entity.According to Erikson, our ego identity is constantly changing due to new experience and information we acquire in our daily interactions with others. This means that Erikson feels that you are not necessarily born the way you are; you area born one way but things, and situations change who you are. I totally agree with Erikson's theory because I also think that people change, and nothing stays the same. He also pointed out the importance of culture and family. From my point of view, family and culture have a great influence in the child's life. If it weren't for my family I wouldn't be the person I am today.Cognitive development is the development of thought processes, including remembering, problem solving, and decision-making, from childhood through adolescence to adulthood. Before Piaget’s work, the common assumption in psychology was that children are merely…
