Our students could fall forward and get hurt or forget to clean themselves. Students must be supervised at ALL TIMES, this includes when they are in the restroom.Here are reminders from licensing's Title 22 regulations: Questions often come up regarding the procedure of providing supervision when students use the restroom. This also includes explaining reasoning while they are using materials designed to stimulate reasoning. Using language to develop reasoning skills: Explaining logical relationships with children while they play with games that stimulate reasoning.Teachers will be getting CD players soon. Music: Although musical instruments were available, a radio/CD player for children to use independently was not.Outdoor environment: Activities such as balance blocks or a tunnel must be placed 6 feet away from the fixtures and fall zones.When children aren't engaged, their brains seek stimulation, you've probably observed this when students begin pushing and touching each other. Staff should engage students by singing songs, having conversations, practicing stretches, telling stories, or providing an activity. An example of this is when students are waiting to wash hands or enter the classroom. Wait time: Occurs when there is a periods of waiting, 3 or more minutes, without engaging the students.Hand washing: Many of our students are getting ill and one way to cut down the spread of germs is to follow the ECERS recommendation under Personal Care Routines children must wash their hands upon entering the classroom, before and after eating, before and after using any kind of messy play including play dough, indoor/outdoor water, indoor/outdoor sand, after picking noses or sneezing in hands, and after using the restroom.After reviewing, we'd like to share some areas of improvement all staff can become aware of:
