I shared with Ms. Jones that there was a lot of positive interaction with the children. However there needs to be more conversations instead of directives going on during free choice play. I encouraged the teacher to keep providing positive interaction with the children and to provide more conversation with the children. Self-talk and Parallel talk will both be necessary in providing a language enriching environment. Self-talk offers an opportunity to allow conversation to occur. For example, the teacher can talk out loud about what she/he is doing, seeing, hearing, or feeling. Parallel talk is important for the teacher to engage in conversations by talking about what the child is doing, seeing, hearing, or feeling. Reminders: Do you have children who bite? Do children struggle to focus during circle time? Do challenging behaviors cause difficult transitions? Do you spend all day managing behavior? Are you at your wits' end? Help is available for these and other behavioral challenges! The Challenging Behaviors Hotline has opened and is provided for Free. You may speak to a Behavior Support Advisor for advice and resources specific to challenging behaviors in your facility.

The staff should ensure that parents are documenting time and signing their children in/out when they are dropping off and picking up their children. I shared with Ms. Jones that there was a lot of positive interaction with the children. However there needs to be more conversations instead of directives going on during free choice play. I encouraged the teacher to keep providing positive interaction with the children and to provide more conversation with the children. Self-talk and Parallel talk will both be necessary in providing a language enriching environment. Self-talk offers an opportunity to allow conversation to occur. For example, the teacher can talk out loud about what she/he is doing, seeing, hearing, or feeling. Parallel talk is important for the teacher to engage in conversations by talking about what the child is doing, seeing, hearing, or feeling. Reminders: Do you have children who bite? Do children struggle to focus during circle time? Do challenging behaviors cause difficult transitions? Do you spend all day managing behavior? Are you at your wits' end?

It was stated by Ms. Mckethan that this was the child’s first day at the facility. One child file was not available for review. It has been missed place when the file was being transferred from Diane’s Child & Learning Center to this facility. There was a file for the sibling to the child that was present with no file.
