journal #2

pg 2. people that i will interact with the most are 1) current students and families 2)staff 3)future students and families 4)neighbors 5) vendors

pg 4 i feel like this director handled the situation appropriately and i wouldn't have added anything to this communication.

pg 9 #1 i visualize my business/daycare as being consistent, having low turnover with staff and being known for communicating with families and staff.

       #2 I personally wouldn't consider my daycare to be a high dollar daycare i prefer to work with low income and those that take dhs. I feel like if you have higher rates and are private pay then you need to  have a really good curriculum, happy staff and good food.

      #3 I would be an academically oriented center. each lesson plan should be made to tailor fit the needs of the age group of children.

     #4 Making sure information is displayed and told to teachers in school. Be upfront about your curriculum for the school and don't say anything you cant back up. We need to be a place where teachers use all types of learning for the variety of different children. Learning should be fun and informative for the kids.

    #5 the strengths of my center would be low turnover for the staff. i really think that is so important if you can have consistency with your staff then i families believe i am doing my job. Families are more comfortable with familiar faces. I believe communication is an important strength to my center. Letting parents know ahead of time about transitions, new teachers, new directors. If a child gets bit or gets hit or hurt at school i believe family should be notified immediately.

    #6 i think all centers can improve by staying informed and up to date about all the dhs rules and regulations. they change often so that is a weakness. You have to stay on point about ratios in your daycare to me the most important. obviously I'm not perfect so myself can always improve by taking more classes and upping my degree and update classes and such.
