Technical assistance discussed during today’s visit: • Supervision promotes a safe environment and prevents injuries in young children while creating a secure environment, fostering healthy attachment, social development, and emotional growth. Staff practices that encourage responsive interactions and understanding of each child’s strengths and challenges while providing active supervision are vital in protecting children from injury or harm. Children were not adequately supervised at all times. The administrator stated that children were placed in the hallway away from the group due to a request from a parent. She stated that the children will be in the classroom with the teachers for supervision and the strollers will not be used unless the staff need it for walks with the children age one. Nurture/Care and child’s developmental needs. Children respond well when they receive descriptive praise/attention for behaviors that the staff wants to see again.

She stated that the children will be in the classroom with the teachers for supervision and the strollers will not be used unless the staff need it for walks with the children age one. Nurture/Care and child’s developmental needs. Children respond well when they receive descriptive praise/attention for behaviors that the staff wants to see again. To respond effectively when children display challenging behavior, it is beneficial for staff to understand typical social and emotional development and behaviors. Measures that prevent behavior problems often include developmentally appropriate environments, supervision, routines, and transitions. Children can benefit from receiving guidance and repeated instructions from staff when navigating various social interactions, problem-solving, and conflict-resolution.
