The children were observed participating in free-choice activities. A child went to the teacher with a toy pancake in a toy pan, and said, “Hot! Hot!” The teacher responded by saying, “It’s hot? You need to be careful. Can you put the pancake on a plate?” The child put the toy pancake on a toy plate and gave it to the teacher. The teacher said, “Is that for me?” The child nodded his head. The teacher said, “Thank you” and pretended to take a bite. The teacher said, “This is delicious! Did you make this?” The child nodded his head and smiled.

I suggest teachers continue to have meaningful conversations and interactions with children. I encourage teachers to give children opportunities to respond to their statements or questions and encourage peer conversations.

Infant/Toddler Age Group Observation I discussed the results of my observation in the caregiving space with D. Goins. The caregivers were always aware of their surroundings. Self-talk and Parallel talk were both observed. We discussed how self-talk offers an opportunity to allow conversation to occur in a silent classroom. For example, the caregiver can talk out loud about what he/she is doing, seeing, hearing, or feeling. Parallel talk is important for the caregiver to engage in conversations by talking about what the child is doing, seeing, hearing, or feeling. I encouraged staff to continue using this method of classroom interactions. Both caregivers were responsive to the needs of the toddler, and promptly responded to the toddler’s needs by feeding, changing, and interacting with her. Preschool Age Group Observation I discussed the results of my observation in the caregiving with D. Goins. Children were engaged in classroom activities and were responsive to the caregivers. All activity areas were not available for children to use at their choice. I encouraged D. Goins to have more than one activity area available at a time to provide a variety of play experiences to promote the children's emotional and social development, health and physical development, approaches to play and learning, language and communication development, and cognitive development. I also encouraged D. Goins to have staff use mealtimes as learning opportunities. Mealtimes can offer opportunities to discuss where food comes from, how food is prepared, or connect concepts such as colors and letters to food. Reminders: July 2023 Child Care Rule Changes The DCDEE is excited to share information about the July 2023 child care rule changes. The NC Child Care Commission revised rules related to staff/child ratios for multi-age groups; cooperative arrangements; and enhanced space requirements. These rule changes may or may not impact your facility. The multi-age group staff/child ratio changes support a previous rule change submitted by Early Head Start and the new rule for defining cooperative arrangements provides clarification to a previous change in statute. July 2023 New Child Care Rule Rollout A New Rule Amendments Overview module has been added to the Child Care Rules Training on DCDEE Moodle. If you are unfamiliar with the Child Care Rule Rollout within Moodle, learn how to navigate Moodle. To access Moodle, you will need to have an NCID - the same NCID that you use for the health & safety training, WORKS login, and/or the CBC Portal - to participate in Moodle training.
