It says in my competency goal 1 to establish and maintain a safe,healy learning environment. This is what i put.
To provide a safe enviroment for infants you must make sure there are no small toys that the kids can choke on. You also need to make sure that the toys that have sharp pointed edges are picked up so that the kids don't hurt themselves.You must never take your eyes off of the kids because they need you to bethere for their every need. To have a healthy enviroment you must make sure thay the area they are playing in is sanitary. Where there are no germs. Also make sure everybody including teachers and kids wash their hands after do something like going to the bathroom and plying outside, Also if the child is sick they don't need to be there so they don't spread germs.
This is fine -- except you have a sentence fragment.
The last sentence has a pronoun-antecedent error.
By the way, there are germs everywhere, even a few in a sterile operating room.
ok so is that what they are looking for?
Yes.
Your response for competency goal 1, which is to establish and maintain a safe and healthy learning environment, contains some important points. However, I can provide you with additional information and suggestions on how to address this goal effectively.
To establish and maintain a safe learning environment for infants, here are some steps you can take:
1. Remove choking hazards: Ensure that there are no small toys, loose parts, or objects that could potentially pose a choking hazard. Infants tend to explore the world around them by putting objects in their mouths, so it's crucial to regularly inspect the play area and remove any potential dangers.
2. Eliminate sharp objects: Ensure that toys with sharp or pointed edges are not accessible to infants. These objects can cause injuries, so it's important to choose toys that are age-appropriate and safe for use.
3. Supervise constantly: As you mentioned, never take your eyes off the children. Infants require constant supervision and attention to ensure their safety. Stay alert, be attentive, and respond promptly to their needs or any potential hazards.
Now, let's address maintaining a healthy learning environment:
1. Ensure cleanliness: Regularly clean and sanitize the play area to provide a hygienic environment. Wipe down surfaces, toys, and equipment with child-safe cleaning products. This helps prevent the spread of germs and reduces the risk of infections.
2. Promote handwashing: Establish a routine for handwashing among both children and staff. Encourage everyone to wash their hands before and after meals, after using the bathroom, after playing outside, and whenever necessary. Ensure there are adequate handwashing facilities available.
3. Encourage healthy habits: Teach children about personal hygiene, such as covering their mouths when coughing or sneezing and using tissues or elbows. Encourage them to adopt healthy habits like eating nutritious meals, drinking plenty of water, and getting enough rest.
4. Sick policy: Implement a sick policy that prevents children from attending if they are unwell. This helps to minimize the spread of contagious illnesses among the children and staff.
By following these guidelines and continually assessing the safety and hygiene of the environment, you can create a secure and healthy learning space for infants.
