Childcare In Canada

I totally agree with you that Terrance as a child care provider can apply for financial assistance from some organization that helps low-income families. I also agree that he might need to apply for the government 's grant that can allow him not to pay back instead of getting loans. I completely agree that Terrance needs to make sure he hires qualified and responsible teachers that create a safe environment where children can learn. I think that could be a great idea for him to hire an assistant director who could supervise each classroom on a daily basis. Since Terrance will have two centers, if could be difficult for him to have to listen to the teacher 's concerns.

Foster Children in Quebec’s Foster Care In 2013, Quebec social workers had 80540 reports of abuse for the whole Quebec children population, of which 31948 were investigated. Some reports did not fall under the category of abuse or neglect and consequently did not require an intervention. Conversely, there are issues with foster care which are getting worse and hurting the children in care.

Paul Tough’s Whatever It Takes focuses on Geoffrey Canada’s program, “The Harlem Children’s Zone”, which aims to take students living in one of the lowest performing districts in New York City and keep them on track for graduation and eventually college. This book shows the various challenges that come with trying to change a system that has built to fail these students. One of the earliest lessons that Canada learns is that in order to make a major difference on these student’s lives, he needs to have a comprehensive approach, which would keep the students on a “conveyor belt” to college. Canada’s approach was different from previous attempts to close the achievement gap because instead of choosing to open his program to all students in New York City and only be able to accept a small percentage of the students that apply, Canada chose to focus on a specific zone in Harlem and commit to fully supporting all of the students that lived in the chosen zone.

Under the Plan, childcare was treated like other welfare services and childcare centers were subsidized with the Federal and Provincial Governments sharing the costs. Thus, the FLFPR almost doubled from 26 percent in 1951 to about 52 percent in 1981 mainly because of feminization of the clerical sector due to Canada’s transformation into a service economy marked by ‘growing size of corporations and expansion of government services.’ In comparison, the MLFPR reduced dramatically owing to the prevalence of the trend among older males (aged 55-64) who faced prolonged unemployment during those decades to opt for early retirement and take ‘advantage of special provisions available in public and private pension

This also focuses attention on the important role of the key person/ key worker in a safeguarding high-quality care and learning experiences for young children. Practitioners have established that the mandatory welfare necessities are important for the early year’s basic safety, security and health. These also require to reassure parents and carers that their children will experience a good level of care in all settings. Each principle of the EYFS has four obligations which show practitioners which are putting the principle into practice, therefore supporting children in meeting the outcomes set out in the government’s programme for children, Every Child Matters which also supports the holistic development (Hughes and Doherty, 2009). However, some parts of the sector must have found it hard to provide the learning and development needs of the EYFS.

Many conditions have combined to ban and eventually stop child labour in Canada. By the 20th century almost all provinces had enacted labour laws to restrict the employment of children. The government restricting child employment in mines was enacted in Nova Scotia in 1873, and British Columbia in 1877. By 1929 children under 14 had been legally banned from jobs in factories and mines in many major of provinces throughout Canada.

NAEYC argued for salaries and benefits to be linked to qualifications and responsibilities. In 1999, Child and Youth Care forum published a series of articles in a symposium on the professionalization of the early childhood care through developing a positive relationship between professional development and the status and salaries of the childcare staff. The need for improved child outcomes, quality programs, and teacher qualifications has continued to frame the discussion around professional status. The improved wages for childcare staff was still missing from major initiatives. Unless, childcare staff wages were included in all the initatives, the efforts to improve program quality and child outcomes would be very

A National Academies report found that, The quality of child care is likely to have important consequences for the development of children during the early years and middle childhood, and that because of the amount of time children spend in child care, child care provides an important opportunity to promote children’s healthy development and overall wellbeing. The report also noted that in comparison to their higher income peers, children of low-income families appear more likely to receive poor-quality child care and less likely to receive excellent quality child care, especially in the early years (Blau

Over the past 20 years, the workforce identity of the early years setting has changed dramatically. Policy and governmental changes have inspired children led improvements and this has affected the identity of the Early Years Teacher. In 1997 the Labour Government outlined their commitment to improving quality within the early years setting and one of the main areas they concentrated on was the quality of staff within the settings. This resulted in the view that 'quality' was qualified. In 2007, Labour introduced the graduate role of the Early Years Practitioner, which aimed to raise the falling standards within the early year’s settings.

EYPs work in partnership with families and professionals in order to safeguard the child and maintain their health and safety at all times. It is important for EYPs to develop professional relationships with parents/carers while the child is in their care; EYPs must organise times to communicate with the parents/carers about the child’s development or any concerns they may have. It can sometimes be difficult for EYPs to communicate with the child’s main primary caregiver as there may be barriers such as: work timings, language barriers and busy times at nursery. It is important that EYPs try to overcome these barriers in order to meet the needs of the child and maintain their safety and well-being. In a child’s early years it is important that the early years setting mirrors the child’s home and home routine in order to make the child feel comfortable and safe.

In this essay I will be considering how innovations in theory, policy and research have influenced the development of coordination, partnership and integration in childhood practice in my childcare setting in Scotland. I will analyse the development of policies concerning children and young people in relation to my setting and the professional groups involved within my setting. This will include the introduction of building the ambition and the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014, which from 2016 will enforce the need for the named person to take any concerns seriously and report as required. It will also increase provision to 600 hours which in turn will help to safeguard vulnerable two year olds by placing them into early year’s

Due to the decline of stay at home mothers and the rise of feminism, which encourages women to work, more and more mothers are happily choosing day care. This trend is what is keeping the child care service industry alive and

Early childhood professionals are from diverse professional backgrounds. They use multidisciplinary approaches to provide better support to families and draw on the skills and expertise of their peers.

Many factors, during a child’s time at nursery will significantly affect their health and well-being. Firstly the EYPs must create a welcoming environment for the children so that they are able to feel relaxed and safe. They should: appeal to the vast majority of children by accepting and welcoming diversity; always be friendly, welcoming and professional; never make presumptions; and give children familiar resources that make them feel calm and don’t encourage stereotypes. If they do this then the children are more likely to be more positive and confident within the setting.
