A quiet day at the daycare on Halloween day, I missed the morning where E,B, P ,Rupinder and Willa were dressed up in their costumes and trick or treat around the office. It sound like it was a lot of fun.
When I arrived to interview Rupinder with Willa, B was running back and forth across the colored cushions that were arranged in different color patterns. He had a lot of energy and excitement in his movements. From an ECE learning perspective, this showed his need for gross-motor play and active exploration. The cushions provided a safe and open-ended environment where he could test his balance, build coordination, and gain confidence in his physical abilities while also engaging in sensory play with color and texture.
Rupinder expressed she was nervous about the interview but i reassured her not to worry as its for our assignment and not a job. She smiled and nodded “Okay!’ As we took turns asking questions, the more I got to understand her more and the way the daycare is managed.
