They will be a part of the older children's activities as well. They will be provided age appropriate activities and can play, roam, climb and venture safely.<br /><br />They will be cuddled, coddled, and allowed to be part of the bigger picture in advance of their ages.<br /><br />I wear the babies in baby carriers as much as I can (as much as my back allows). I have several different carriers, such as Mei Tais, wraps, and slings. <br /><br />Interaction between all the ages benefits each child. All children get a chance to interact within the learning centers.phxaz2004http://www.blogger.com/profile/09525927381273912627noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128600845124571161.post-47359017704935851492008-03-24T13:15:00.000-07:002008-03-24T13:18:00.156-07:00DisciplineDiscipline is solved with discussion, redirecting anger, etc, with a solution. I rarely use time out, and I never use corporal punishment. I prefer to remove a child from an activity, and send him or her to a new toy. <br /><br />If a problem is out of hand, I will speak to Mom or Dad, but I try to deal with most issues here.phxaz2004http://www.blogger.com/profile/09525927381273912627noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128600845124571161.post-58832304766496834812008-03-24T13:10:00.000-07:002008-03-24T13:14:42.930-07:00My childcare philosphyMy early childhood philosophy is based on the belief that all children share certain needs and have a drive to be self-confident, self-motivated individuals, seeking out an understanding of the world around them. It is our goal to provide a learning environment which will empower children and enhance self-esteem by creating an atmosphere where social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development can take place. This goal is met by providing a variety of activities and experiences which allow the child to be creative, to discover, and to solve problems.phxaz2004http://www.blogger.com/profile/09525927381273912627noreply@blogger.com0
