Devotion is very important to make you a great teacher or program , you have to have a passion for children before a passion for teaching and educating our youth. The tools that the children need have to be provided by the program such as developmentally appropriate books, toys, utensils, physical structures, sanitary stations, and the curriculum.

If I worked in an infant-toddler classroom these are some things I would enforce in order for my classroom to offer quality care. Responsive care would be the first one. I would make sure the caretaker is responsive and understands child’s cues. Also, that the caretaker initiate interaction if child is upset. Second would be base care. I would make sure each child has primary care. I would do this by ensuring the staff-to-child ratio is low and manageable and that the child is choosing who they feel comfortable to the best of my ability. Third would be individualize curriculum, this is important so that each child has the freedom to develop their own strengths as well as work on the skills that may need improvement. Fourth I would create a responsive environment. I would make sure that there is enough material so that they child can use independently. I would also make sure that the equipment is growing with the children, in other words that the material is being changed to meet the growing needs of the children. Fifth I would assure that the health and safety protocol and procedures are meet and followed constantly. Finally, I would create a continuity between the family members and caretakers. It is important to have an open communication with the parents regarding the children. It is important that the parent knows we are working together for the best development and growth of the child.
I agree with your answer to question number 6. Building trust with an infant can sometimes be very difficult especially with the older infants that are going through separation anxiety. No matter how long it takes we as teachers need to have lots of patience and build that trust with that child so we can be able to help them in their learning journey.

For example a dramatic play area, a sensory area, literacy area, art area and all other kinds of areas that support children’s growth and learning. I would also look to see if the classroom is safe. For toddlers and outdoor area for play.

Why is trust important during infancy?
Initiating a foundation of trust with an infant (an early age) is the key of helping a child feel secure. A well formation of trust and attachment will certainly affect the way of how she/he will interact, communicate and form relationships with others throughout life. This process of bonding and establishing trust starts at the hand of the infant’s caregivers. There are several key factors at building trust and bond with an infant such as paying attention, listening to the baby’s feelings, treating the infant with kindness, providing caring touch, and spending quality time together.

Indeed, the bond between a parent and child is an essential way of establishing trust and communication starts at home, but the bond continues between a teacher and child in a classroom is also one of the most for crucial beginnings of the child’s development. Early childhood education teachers should demonstrate consideration for every child in his/her classroom meaning being actively listeners and responding to the needs of the child. For instance, if a child is upset or frustrated, it is the teacher’s responsibility to help him/her with care as much as possible in order to determine what the cause is, and provide useful strategies, if needed to work through the situation that will lead to a solution.

How can teachers build attachments with babies?
Consistent back and forth exchanges that happen overtime are one of the ways to build secure attachments. Responsive care is also another way. Just allowing the baby to know that you are there for them and you can help them may make them feel more comfortable with you. Taking the time to feed them or taking your time with intimate moments like bottle feeding, making sure they know they are cared for.

If you worked into an infant-toddler classroom, what would you look for to determine if the classroom offered quality care and programming?
In the second video they named 7 keys to quality care and I personally think I would look for all 7 because they seem equally important to me. Responsive care, the caregivers ability to quickly act and respond to a child when they seem like they need something. Relationship-based care, a place that focuses on individual relationships with each staff member and child. Individualized curriculum to make sure the needs of every child is being met. Responsive environment, they mentioned things like interest areas. Safeguard health and safety precautions being followed constantly. Continuity between family and caregiver, making sure all records are on file and up to date in accordance with the laws. And qualified staff and a quality program is definitely essential in the classroom.
