PART 2——
Individual Project: Center or Home Care Safety Check and Playground Safety Inspection Report
Children must have a safe and healthy environment in which they can learn. As a result, early childhood education staff spend the majority of their time ensuring that the indoor and outdoor learning environments of the home and center are safe for the children.
In this assignment, you will have the opportunity to see first-hand what that entails.
Recommendation: This assignment is best when conducted in a licensed center or home. IF POSSIBLE, locate a licensed center or an in home care licensed facility and make your appointment now so that you have time to conduct your safety checklist and playground inspection, and complete your report by the November 3 due date.
