Preschool Competency Statement I
To establish and maintain a safe, healthy, learning environment
Safe – I believe it is important to establish and maintain a safe and healthy learning environment by keeping my center and playground area clean and free of the things that are harmful to my children. I believe the first steps to encourage learning is to keep a clean and safe environment, so that my children’s minds will be stimulated and will meet their individual learning styles.
I keep an updated list of the children with food allergies in the classroom. First aid kits are available in the room in a labeled cabinet and in a traveling bag that goes with the children to the playground and gym. • I am familiar with the classroom and center emergency evacuation procedures in case of a fire or tornado. • I inspect all toys and equipment frequently throughout the day to ensure that they are safe for the children to play with and use.
Healthy – My goal is to encourage my children to follow healthy and nutritional eating habits. I do this by promoting foods that are healthy and clean for my children to eat. I teach about and have my children sample all types all types of healthy food to help our bodies grow strong. My children and I have helped encourage in changing the centers menu to make the menu fun, colorful, yet healthy and nutritious, that meet the needs of those children with a special diet. One thing I would love to try to do more of would be to have the children serve themselves as a family style meal.
Learning Environment In the functional area of establishing a learning environment my goal for my children is to try to make sure that my classroom is fun, safe, organized and set up for success. In my classroom I have seven different learning areas: art, science, blocks, dramatic play, manipulatives, writing and library. All labeled with words and pictures. I try to set up stimulating learning centers so that my children can move freely with age appropriate
