    Competency Statement 1.  

    To establish and maintain a safe, healthy, learning environment. 

    Function Area 1:  Safe 

    Safety is a major part of child care, above all things parents want their children to 

    be safe. I will uphold this honest requirement by realizing accidents do happen, but it is 

    my main goal that at all times safety is my main objective. I will analyze everything with 

    safety as my top priority. Toys shall be of the right size to prevent choking hazards. Any 

    broken toy will be repaired and if repair is not possible it will be thrown away and 

    replaced. I will limit any sitting time to help maximize my ability to watch all children. The 

    classroom will be organized in a way to eliminate clutter and optimize mobility ease.  

    Function Area 2: Healthy  

    Being healthy is not just about germs.  While that is a major aspect to keeping 

    children healthy.  I will provide a well rounded healthy atmosphere. These healthy 

    choices are given through meals, physical activity, and a calm environment.  Physical 

    activity will be provided through planned out activities and also through opportunities 

    during free play.  Planned and unplanned physical activities will be performed indoor 

    and outdoor.  A calm environment will be provided by having a positive attitude and 

    encouraging others to do so also.  Having a healthy environment also includes keeping 

    everything as germ free as possible.  Children have plenty of germs and they spread so 

    easily.  Keeping the equipment that is used clean is very important.  The best way to 

    Competency Statement 1 by Randie (Summer) Craft 
     

    keep the germs away is to clean the surfaces with disinfectant products and practice 

    proper hand washing procedures.  Cleaning supplies will be kept locked in a cabinet 

    and out of reach of the children. 

    Functional Area 3:  Learning Environment 

    A learning environment will be somewhat different for each individual child.  To 

    help optimize their own style of learning and their own developmentally appropriate 

    needs.  Each child's learning varies, some like calm monotones.  Others are better 

    learners when they are moving or is you sing what you are teaching.  While others learn 

    best by doing it hands on.  So I will observe each child and communicate with the 

    parents to find the best possible learning environment for that child.  I will also involve 

    the child's parents with activities, such as sending home activities they can do with their 

    child.
