Inquiry-Target Child Observation
Inquiry- Target child is emerging in this skill set. Z is only beginning to recognize experiences and draw scientific conclusions from exploration. I observed playing at the water table, watching what the ice cubes did when in contact with his skin, and the room temperature. Z melting the ice cubes into water, and pouring the water onto the non-melted ice. In addition, I’ve observed Z make predictions about science experiments. Z has not shown signs of problem solving curiosity. Also, I have not seen Z communicate his learning/discovery through observation. Z would share experiences if prompted, but he is not advanced enough in inquiry to make such efforts.

When investigating a facility, one must be aware of their surroundings and properly multi-task because an investigation may involve talking to multiple individuals while receiving documents and presenting presenting facts. The main focus is to secure the child in that particular environment, by following all policies and procedures of the agency. This appeal to me because I've had a personal experience of child care negligence. When my daughter was younger she attended at child care facility that I trust and believe would properly care for my child. One day, I stopped by to check on her…
