Daycare Diaries

We all know that what goes on behind closed doors can often be very different from the image we see on the outside. The same can be true for your child’s daycare. How much do you know about what truly goes on during the day before your child greets you with a clean face and a smile? How do you find the right daycare or know that the one you have chosen is indeed the best choice? Every parent wants peace of mind knowing their children are in good hands with people they can trust, but how can they ever really be sure? Imagine that you were given a magic crystal ball that allowed you to see what your kids were experiencing at daycare. . . Daycare Diaries provides you with a realistic “behind the scenes” peek into the daycare world that parents hardly ever get to see. Written by two daycare providers with over 30 years’ combined experience, Daycare Diaries is a unique collection of true stories, each providing a lesson that will leave you worrying, wondering, laughing, and crying, but ultimately more empowered to find the “perfect” daycare for your child. Daycare Diaries takes you into the minds of daycare providers as well as sheds light on a highly misunderstood profession. Just as a quality daycare provider can offer your child a wealth of positive experiences, the wrong provider can cause harm. By opening unknowing eyes and shedding light on the realities that exist in most daycares, we will help parents to form the crucial questions that really matter when choosing quality childcare. Let our experience be your guide on this exciting journey of finding your child’s ideal “home away from home”. Daycare Diaries is the crystal ball to your child’s little world of daycare. Open it up and see what it’s waiting to reveal to you. . .you just might be surprised

What is childhood like in Finland? What kind of practical solutions have been created and evaluated that aim at both providing good childhood experiences and supporting children’s positive development? What practices aim to prevent child exclusion from regular education and social experiences and to foster children’s healthy development in emotional, social, and behavioural terms? This book considers the reality of childhood in Finland. It discusses the realisation and evaluation of early childhood education and addresses aspects of research and practice concerning children under the age of 10. It examines the growth and development of young children, how learning and teaching are organised, practices of rearing children and the state of child care in Finland. Contributors represent a variety of universities and sub disciplines in the science of education and focus on perspectives of children’s well-being, special viewpoints of early childhood education, care, and research in Finland. This book was originally published as a special issue of Early Child Development and Care.

This book is dedicated to our great-granddaughter "Ellie "who will be 4 soon and her many imaginary stuffed friends she loves so much. But also for all the imaginary friends we all have had in life growing up to help us have a voice and someone or something that would listen to us intently. These imaginary friends actually give a child a release they need until we as parents can actually figure out what in the world language they are speaking and even after that. She cares about her stuffed animal friends so much that she teaches them in a group, talks to them one on one, puts them in time out, takes them for walks and car rides, etc. With the Pandemic going on it seemed like the perfect idea for a children's book for all those kids that are now at home hopefully enjoying their special little stuffed friends too. Therefore Daycare Diaries has now been created to share with other children in hopes they will get as much joy from it as you take your child through adventures of everyday life lessons such as Wash Your Hands Plan, 6 Balloons for Storytime, Our Favorite Treat, Are You Hot or Cold?, The Cleaning Clues, Don't Touch Your Face Case, Grumpy Germs, Peek a Boo I See You, Stay Away to Be Ok and The BIG Cover Up told in a very fun way. You can have tons of enjoyment for you and your child in the simplest form of just reading and sharing pictures with your little ones with each lesson. While teaching them all the important things you want them to know in life

The chapters in this volume provide the first comprehensive overview of trends in research on early phonological, lexical, syntactic and pragmatic development in children acquiring two (or more) languages simultaneously. Ongoing as well as emerging issues are examined and discussed by leading researchers in the field. Collectively, these studies extend our knowledge of bilingual acquisition and broaden our understanding of the child's ability to acquire and use language. This volume is of interest to researchers working on language acquisition by monolingual and bilingual children, graduate students of psychology, linguistics and communication sciences, and researchers and professionals concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of bilingual children with language impairment.

Family day care or childminding plays a significant role in the provision of childcare in many countries, but is facing new challenges. Bringing together theory, research and knowledge from practice, this topical book presents a variety of informative perspectives on this important service. Contributors from ten countries draw on their recent research to examine how family day care has developed in differing economic and social climates. Covering the views of policy makers, childcare providers and parents, the book includes discussion of: * levels of government intervention * training and support for providers, including childminding networks * creating partnership between parents and carers * defining quality and raising standards * the future of family day care. By illuminating different approaches that will inform understanding and can contribute to the formation of effective policies and practice, this book will be a useful resource for policy makers, researchers, childcare service providers, students on childcare courses and others with an interest in child care policy.
