Question by squirt: Do I need to take early childhood education classes to open a daycare?
I would like to open a daycare center(not out of my home) and was going to take schooling through Penn Foster for child day care management, will i also need to get and associates in early childhood education? or any other certifications?

Best answer:

Answer by Lilly
I don't know what state your in, but in Florida you need only 2 courses to be certified. Check with your state licensing department, they should be able to clarify this for you. I don't think that you need to obtain an associates degree. Best of luck to you!

Question by jasMINe: I need ideas for a preschool theme. I been searching high and low and cant really find anything. ?
all the kids in my care are boys!! I mean really ACTIVE boys and this is something i know they wil enjoy very much. Please share some ideas!! And if there is any good site somewhere, let me know. Opps.. almost forgot my theme is AIRPLANE!

Best answer:

Answer by ~Rock On~
I think a sports theme, or space theme would be cute love the airplane theme sounds very cute!!! I think it would be cute if you had airplanes drawn all over the walls and had them hanging from the ceiling:) lol I remember in my preschool it was so cute we had this corner of the room where every week there would be a new theme and one time it was a space ship and the teach made a huge space ship out of paper you could walk in to and it was awesome!!!! Lol from what I remember anyway:) and one time it was like china and she made the great wall and we ate what they eat there and some time it was a tea party but, I guess that's more girly lol:) So why not make a plane out of cardboard like the space ship I just remember we all love the themes they were so cool!!! Maybe ask the kids for ideals too:) Good Luck I bet your a great teacher!!!

Question by Carlie Dessaix: What certificates do you need to become a pre-school teacher?
I want to become a pre-school teacher in the future,, im beginning year 11 and doing my HSC, im also studying Children services in Tafe one day a week after school, any help on what i need to become this would be great:)
I live in NSW and i was also wondering if you new what qualifactions you need to become a Primary school teacher?

Best answer:

Answer by Sandely65
Actually you would need a college degree to become a pre-school teacher. It's called Early Childhood Education and a couple of my friends are majoring in that. I don't think it's a terribly difficult major, but you can't just become certified in a week or anything like that.

Question by Melissa: What school supplies does a kid need for kindergarten?
My daughter starts kindergarten in the fall and I am unsure as to what supplies she will need, if any. When we signed her up for kindergarten they did not give us a list of supplies she would need, and it completely slipped my mind to ask.

When I was in kindergarten, I don't remember taking any supplies, but times have probably changed since then.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best answer:

Answer by Laurneytoons
Don't purchase anything yet. Your childs teacher will either mail you or send home on the first day a list of supplies your child will need for the year!

Good luck!

Question by Sierra Brook: I'm doing homework for an Early Childhood class and I need help!?
Okay, I'm supposed to be coming up with lesson plans about trains for kindergarten. I need to have at least one lesson plan to go with 7 different concepts about trains and what children need to know about them. The only one that I have left and I can't think of anything for is, "Trains travel different places than other forms of transportation." I'm completely lost here!! Can anyone help explain that to me and/or think of an activity that would teach it?

Best answer:

Answer by Wendy
Trains can go through mountains and over rivers at all times of the year. You might read The Little Engine That Could to show how hard it is for trains to go up hills, but they can do it.
Good luck!

Question by h0llister_fRK: I need a preschool science activity that involves gross motor/large muscles

Best answer:

Answer by R.
Hmmm...using large motor for science???! A tough one...

How about SEARCHING for CRITTERS (Bugs) Go out for a walk and see what you can see...
SPOTTING OR KEEPING?
Let the kids decide if you want to "catch" what you see or just spot what you see. Your group may decide to just observe critters and chose to learn more about "what the critters do and how they live."
WHERE?
Try a garden, yard, park, flowerbeds, hedges, and under rocks or logs. Lift up anything on the ground and find little bug worlds "underneath".
Many bugs hide among their favorite plants. Katydids are green just like the leaves. Many moths are brown and look just like the bark on their favorite trees. Butterflies are drawn to red, orange and pink flowers and also like phlox, alyssum, verbena, and herbs such as marjoram and thyme.
Look for beetles under fallen logs or rocks.
Crickets love cracks in sidewalks and buildings.
You might find the woolly bear caterpillar crawling across a sidewalk or on plants.
Keep your eyes open for ants of all sizes---they are everywhere.
Nature walks in general are good. http://after-school-care.com/Replies.aspx?Post=59

Of how about---Water and Ice Concept
Talk about water and ice --in that water is a liquid and ice is a solid.
To demonstrate this-- give each child a 1 gallon ziploc bag with crushed ice in it. Add ice cream salt..and place a smaller bag filled with kool-aid, lemonade or juice in the larger bag. Instruct the children to shake the bag.
If you play music while the children shake their bags, the drink mix will usually become ice-by the end of the song.(large motor comes in with all the shaking and moving to music)

Also any cooking and making play dough is science (anything that turns liquid into a solid is science) With stirring, mixing, and rolling--large motor would be used. http://after-school-care.com/Replies.aspx?Post=51

Oh! Building is a science. Have the kids make a giant village with all the blocks, duplos, pulleys, etc.

Question by sparklegirl: Need help in designing a lesson plan for preschoolers?
Hello. I am desperate in need of help. I'm doing a project for early childhood education. I have to create a lesson plan on what makes us grow for about 15 kids. Can anyone give me any ideas on how to do this. I would greatly appreciate it.

Best answer:

Answer by Ann M
I would probably do a unit on Healthy Foods - they could make placemats with a fruit, vegetable, bread, milk and meat picture on it - you could make a healthy fruit salad together. Have them make a fruit dip to put on top - pudding, milk and cool whip and let them help shake. Look at the library for "The boy Who Wouldn't Eat breakfast" and "Gregory the Terrible Eater" - there are worksheets on the internet you can find that they can cut out the healthy foods. You could have a dentist come in and talk about taking care of your teeth _ there are endless things you can do> good luck!

Question by jon jon's girl: I need cute songs for preschool Thanksgiving program ?
We have 2 really nice hymn type songs about being thankful and we want 2 fun or silly type songs. We have Turkey in the Straw and we need one more. any suggestions? It needs to pertain to Thanksgiving or Autumn. Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by mummy♥
I Ate Too Much Turkey (title)
I ate too much turkey,
I ate too much corn,
I ate too much pudding and pie,
I'm stuffed up with muffins
and much too much stuffin',
I'm probably going to die.
I piled up my plate
and I ate and I ate,
but I wish I had known when to stop,
for I'm so crammed with yams,
sauces, gravies, and jams
that my buttons are starting to pop.
I'm full of tomatoes
and french fried potatoes,
my stomach is swollen and sore,
but there's still some dessert,
so I guess it won't hurt
if I eat just a little bit more.
