High Quality Early Childhood Program p7

Despite all the standard regulations set by the government that should be followed there are still several issues to be considered in this kind of program. One of the issues is that, there’s not enough monitoring in the daycare. To monitor once every five years, I personally believed, is not truly enough for licensed daycare. Based from my observation, many public daycares are not following the regulations set by the government, particularly in making a well prepared lesson plans that are appropriate for the child's age or level of learning.

Another issue to look into for serious consideration is the nutrition. Sometimes, the meals of the children do not meet with the Canada’s nutrition standard. Accordingly, all daycare, public and private must post their menu for the whole month on the entrance of the daycare center to let the parents know what their children are eating for lunch and snacks. However, most of the time, daycare services do not follow this rule. One more issue worth mentioning is the cleanliness of the daycare center. The entrance might be clean to look at but the inside is not, floors are not washed, toys are not disinfected and the bathroom is not properly cleaned. All these issues should be addressed and be investigated by the licensed health inspector and other agencies to correct the problems in the daycare.

Understandably, a high-quality early childhood programs requires responsive care not only for children, but also for their mentors, their teachers. Teachers serve as a powerful and indispensable manpower in the field of education. They are the agents responsible for the success of our children. Therefore, they must be kept physically, emotionally, intellectually, psychologically and socially competent. These assessments do not meet properly when some of these issues I mentioned above remain uncorrected. They hinder the benefits of the regulations set by the government that some of the daycare providers are not aware of and if they do, they just do not care about their educators and the children in their premises.

For the most part, high-quality early childhood programs are indeed the best programs for our young children for the reason that it promotes all areas of development such as social, physical, intellectual, creativity and emotion. The government has a good plan for our young children because they believe that the children are our future and I do hope that daycare owners both public and private think and believe that also. By doing so, we create the best possible magic towards our children in preparing them for a better future since we are helping them build the perfect foundation for life – quality education.
