What Our Student Says

“The training provided by Ms. Gowri and Ms. Komala was a wonderful learning experience. I learnt many childcare best practices through group discussions, role-play, presentations, and individual reflections, just to name a few. Some of my key takeaways from this training were:

• The different stages of development in infants and toddlers, and the ways to observe each child, including event sampling and running records and checklists.
• In “Safety, Health and Nutrition”, we discussed the different diseases affecting infants and toddlers, prevention and management of such diseases, types of vaccinations, and the importance of learning basic first aid used in the centre.
• I also learnt more about handling and maintaining parent-caregiver relationships for the development of the child. It gave me a detailed insight into preparations to be done before, during and after the parent-teacher conferences.
• Regular checks on the indoor and outdoor environment including materials and resources is important for the safety and affective learning of children.
• Lesson plans should be uniquely implemented with each child’s physical, intellectual, emotional and social development quotient taken into account.

All in all, I learnt to be a good human resource for the centre, maintain good relationships with the parents, and utilise my knowledge to settling the children for learning.” – Ms. Shimna (Toddler Teacher)
