Hello. Is it appropriate to introduce Winter to one year old toddlers living in a tropical state? Since toddlers need to use their senses to learn about things, would it be right to expose them to "fake" snow, or paper snowmen crafts, paper snowflakes, etc.. Wouldn't that be misleading them? Yet, how to introduce the subject of Winter if ...See MoreHello. Is it appropriate to introduce Winter to one year old toddlers living in a tropical state? Since toddlers need to use their senses to learn about things, would it be right to expose them to "fake" snow, or paper snowmen crafts, paper snowflakes, etc.. Wouldn't that be misleading them? Yet, how to introduce the subject of Winter if all they see outside is the bright sunshine, the green trees, and warm weather? Would it be okay to just brush on the subject by only exploring water, ice, winter clothes...? Or is it okay to go ahead and talk about the snow, snowmen, snowflakes with a sensory tub of the fake snow? Thank you for your help.
Hi, I want to start a center daycare for regular and special needs children. I just need to know where to start. If you can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Hi! I am taking a class at school that requires me to interview a teacher about their views of motivation as part of a paper I need to write.
If anyone is willing to answer all of the following questions to help me out it would be greatly appreciated :)

If anyone is willing to answer all of the following questions to help me out it would be greatly appreciated :)

How important do you think it is to praise students? 6. How much praise do you use? Why? 7.Do you use any other kinds of rewards to motivate your students to study? 8. Can you give me some specific examples? 9. How important do you think it is for you to try and help students develop their self- concepts? 10. What do you do to help students develop their self concepts? 11. Can you give me specific examples? 12. How important do you think it is for students to believe that teachers care about them as people? 13. Is this part of your job? Why or why not? 14. What do you do to capitalize on a student's curiosity? Can you give specific examples? 15. What can teachers do to make students feel responsible for their learning? What do you do? How well does it work? 16. What do you do to make students feel that what they are learning is important and worthwhile? Can you give specific examples? 17. How important do you think it is to challenge your students? 18. DO they feel better about what they've learned when it has been challenging? Can you give specific examples to illustrate your point?

Looking for anyone to give guidance to the CDA credential. I'm currently enrolled in the center based Infant/Toddler course and need a little help with my portfolio. Anyone?
Looking for advice please. I work at a daycare in the young toddler classroom. We have a child who is 22 months. She is an attention seeker to begin with, very loud and animated, she is for lack of a better way to put it always on, as if she is a performer on a stage.

We have a child who is 22 months. She is an attention seeker to begin with, very loud and animated, she is for lack of a better way to put it always on, as if she is a performer on a stage. Her behaviors run from smacking her teachers in the face, to,throwing chairs to repeating the same behavior over and over and over until we have to resort to physically removing her from the place she is doing the behavior. She will scream so loud when she is stopped from doing what she wants to do that the entire school will hear her. Lately she has begun swearing at her teachers and other children, these swears include the f word and the b word, today I heard her say the male c word! she also yells at you saying "shut up!". We have tried ignoring her behaviors and they intensify and continue. We try to only phrase things in a positive manner with what is expected of her. We remove her physically from where she is creating a danger for self or others. Honestly, it just seems to be getting worse. We are really struggling and obviously this type of activity affects her entire classroom. Would greatly appreciate any insight or ideas.

I'm a dad. I didn't like how my school communicated with me and my wife about my children, so me and another dad got together and started to build an app that facilitates communication between schools and us. We've built what we can with the feedback that we've gotten so far, but we are looking for me beta testers to use it and help us build it.
I'm the founder - the app's name is Parvanda; it manages communication between parents and schools, and we're looking into having it also manage tuition payments. One-stop shop. We're only a few months in, but have a few schools already using our system and we're very excited, but know we have a long way to go.
I'm looking for help from this community to help us build the best app we can, and we know we can't do it alone. If you're interested, visit parvanda.com, and you can send me a message through this forum or send an email to [email removed].
I'll set you up with a free account to kick the tires and get you my email address so you can provide feedback and have a direct line of communication with me.
If you're interested in helping us by using and testing the app, we'll be forever grateful.
