Focus on STEAM in Early Childhood Education New Training Coming Winter 2020

You've probably heard the term

STEAM used in educational circles.

By way of background, STEAM

stands for science, technology,

engineering, arts, and math.

Young children naturally engage in

STEAM activities daily through

making and tinkering as they make

sense of the world around them.

Mi Casita Family Child Care Program

Dual Language Family Child Care Provider - Educating Spanish Style

At Ms. Carmen Benitez's family child care program,

children transition seamlessly from learning in English to

Spanish and do it quite proficiently. For example, when

Ms. Carmen asks a student to point to words, she does it

first in Spanish and then in English - no sweat! What

makes this even more impressive is that Ms. Carmen is

speaking to her primarily in Spanish and the student is

from an English-speaking home.

They take things apart and put them

back together, make forts,

investigate the outdoors, and

creatively problem solve.

Children are naturally wired to

explore and experiment,

so integrating STEAM into early

childhood instruction is important.

It takes the questions that children

have about the world and puts those

questions into action.

Early childhood professionals can

foster the development of STEAM

skills by providing materials and

opportunities that support

exploration and experimentation.

You can engage children in play

activities that incorporate children's

interests, while asking questions

that relate to science, technology,

the arts and math. You can also

notice what children are doing

during play and ask open-ended

questions that help your students

make discoveries and expand their

curiosity.

Early childhood professionals have a

big impact on building the

foundations of STEAM for

children. Research indicates that

early STEAM experiences can help

predict future success in school

because students will have a

mindset for critical thinking.

To learn more about STEAM and

how to incorporate STEAM into your

classroom, attend the new "Explore

Ms. Carmen, a Peruvian native, came to this country with

the goal of teaching young children. She started her family

child care program ten years ago and continues to not

only obtain goals but set new ones.

Stars Technical Assistant (TA) Amanda Mackey could not

agree more.

"Carmen knows when to ask for help but creates her own

goals and works toward them," said Amanda.

In the six years working with Delaware Stars, Ms. Carmen

has made much progress. Two years ago, she achieved a

Star Level 5 designation, which made her very proud.

"I always ask my TA what I can do to get better," said

Carmen. "By working with Amanda, I have been able to

take assessment to the next level."

And she does it all with love. She develops lasting

relationships with the children and their families.

"Carmen has open communication with families which

ultimately helps the children," adds Amanda. "Carmen is

so warm with her interactions and carefully observes her

students so she can be sure to provide activities that

stimulate and challenge each individual child."

Ms. Carmen has created a culture of quality care at her

program.

"Carmen has made quality a habit," said Amanda. "She

does not do things to check boxes off for Stars. She has

changed her practice so all quality enhancements are just

second nature now."

Proveedor de cuidado infantil familiar bilingüe - Educación al estilo español

En el programa de cuidado infantil familiar de la Sra. Carmen Benitez, los niños pasan del aprendizaje en inglés al aprendizaje en español sin problemas y con mucha agilidad. Por ejemplo, cuando la Sra. Carmen le pide a un estudiante que señale palabras, este lo hace primero en español y luego en inglés, ¡sin esfuerzo! Y lo más asombroso es que la Sra. Carmen le habla principalmente en español y, en el hogar del estudiante, se habla inglés.

La Sra. Carmen, nativa de Perú, vino a este país con el objetivo de enseñar a niños pequeños. Comenzó su programa de cuidado infantil familiar hace diez años, y continúa, no solo alcanzando metas, sino también estableciendo otras nuevas.

La asistente técnica de Stars Amanda Mackey no podría estar más de acuerdo. “Carmen sabe cuándo pedir ayuda, pero crea sus propias metas y se esfuerza por alcanzarlas”, dijo Amanda.

En los seis años que lleva trabajando con Delaware Stars, la Sra. Carmen ha logrado mucho. Hace dos años, obtuvo la designación de Nivel 5 de Stars, lo que la llenó de orgullo.

“Siempre le pregunto a mi asistente técnica qué puedo hacer para mejorar”, indicó Carmen. “Al trabajar con Amanda y el asistente técnico especializado en programas de estudio y evaluación, pude llevar la evaluación a un nivel superior.”

Y todo lo hace con amor. Desarrolla relaciones duraderas con los niños y sus familias.

“Carmen tiene una comunicación abierta con las familias, lo que, a fin de cuentas, ayuda a los niños”, añade Amanda. “Carmen es muy cálida en sus interacciones y observa detenidamente a sus estudiantes para asegurase de proporcionar actividades que estimulen y desafíen a cada niño personalmente”.

La Sra. Carmen ha creado una cultura de atención de calidad en su programa.

“Carmen ha hecho de la calidad un hábito”, indicó Amanda. “Ella no hace las cosas solo para cumplir con Stars. Cambió sus prácticas, de modo que, ahora, todas las mejoras de calidad son algo natural”.
