To help a child understand community and the society we live in, we have adopted a job chart to start teaching basic ethics and accountabilities of living in a community and the responsibilities that this entails.
I really do believe “It takes a village to raise a child”. I also believe that manners, morals and etiquette start at home. Some of the children in my care are here for 11 hours a day 5 days a week. I find that structure and daily responsibilities are a very important part in raising a child. Children need to identify with their surroundings, being included in the day to day activities of the day care environment helps each child feel like they are an integral part of
the day care and improves on their self-worth. At the beginning of the school year each child starts out with basic responsibilities such as keeping their area clean, putting their stuff away. Within a month we start to include the basic job duties of the room:
· watering the plants
· supervisor
· weather person
· Who feed the dog, cat, fish, Turtles, bearded dragon
· Etc. see below artifact for actual chart
This is how we incorporate a community inside or day care we do many field trips around our community to help explain that every person in each job has a responsibility. Each person in the community: governor, mayor,
police, Doctors, nurses everyone has a responsibility to do their job to keep everyone safe and happy.
