Childcare Center Director

Do you enjoy working with children? Is a question that I like to think of when it comes to working in the field dealing with the responsibilities of taking care of children. Today, there are more needs for children to be taking care of and learning about why it is so important to have a good education. I can remember when I was about ten or eleven years old, I use to babysit children during the summer, I would teach them their ABC’s, how to count, and recognize numbers, shapes, sizes, and their colors. Being a Childcare Center Director is my dream career, because I wanted to ensure that my children will be taught and learn why it is so important in having a good education. I will not only have a Childcare Center to sit and watch children just to earn an income, I want to ensure the parents that my Center will benefit their child or children that this is an educational center as well.

Today, Childcare Directors are among one of the highest paying job in the United States, according to the http://www.bls.gov/ooh/management/preschool-childcare-centers-directors.htm (visited December 19, 2012). Childcare Directors are expected to grow by eight percent between the years of 2008-2018. A Preschool and Childcare Center Directors is an institution of early childhood education for children between the ages of three-to-five year old. Directing a Preschool/Childcare Center is exhausting and can also be complicated at times when you have a problem that involves the matter with a parent and one of your employees. It is your responsibility to make that your staff understands the responsibility in handle and dealing with problems that have occurred. It is a dedicated job, but you must have the desire love and work with children’s.

What do they do as a Director? Is one of many question people tends to ask and wonder about.

    I recently left a position at a small Early Childhood Education center in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The school consisted of children ranging in age of 6 weeks to 6 years. I worked there for eleven years in a variety of age groups. Most of my experience was in Preschool, with children who were three and four years old. The school was located in Point Park University located in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh, in one of the University’s dorm buildings and took up two floors. Each classroom was between three and four dorm rooms combined in size. The rooms were long and narrow with partial walls knocked down and converted into doorways between the rooms. Because of the classrooms being converted from individual dorm rooms to single classrooms, there were many blind spots in the room. There for, each classroom had at least two teachers spread out among the room to be able to see every child and what they were doing at all times. It was very rare that there were only two teachers per class. Many times, the classroom had two teachers, and students from the university enrolled in a work study program helping to work with fifteen to twenty students.…

    [ ] First, there are three different types of daycare facilities that I’m going to be discussing and they are; corporate facilities, franchised facilities and in-home facilities. I know that everyone is wondering, what is the difference between a corporate facility and a franchised facility? The difference between these two facilities is simple, is it privately owned? We’ve all heard of or driven by a Children’s Courtyard, La Petite Academy or Kinder Care building because there’s one around every corner. These buildings are all corporate facilities, meaning they have a corporate office full of employees to tell them the proper way to run their facilities, their hours of operation and what rates to charge. They also have a wide variety of…

    More and more parents are making informed decisions about the care of small children while they are at work or school. Interviewing multiple daycare providers and dropping in unannounced to check things out before committing to hire daycare is now commonplace. This is causing daycare providers to increase the quality of care.. As parents become better informed they are no longer content for their child to be babysat by the television. A successful provider must be prepared to give examples of how a typical day for their child is structured. Public schools now expect children to have more skills conquered when they enter kindergarten. Such skills as knowing the alphabet, numbers, shapes and colors are now taught pre-kindergarten. Parents now look for daycare that functions more like preschool than ever before.…
