Important thing to be consider when choosing daycare supplies and child care equipment is the safety. The safety supplies and equipment are electrical outlet cover, lock, fence, safety gates, smoke detector and others. If we provide an indoor play equipment then we should make sure that there is no sharp edge, sturdy, easy to clean and safe. For the sitting space, we need to arrange it well so that the children will not be overcrowding. Proper arrangement will be three table and four chair to make us possible to sit and supervise them. The supervision will be urgently needed when eating time coming. We do not need to always buy a new daycare supplies and child care equipment to save money. However, there is supply that should never buy a second one.
The needs of infants and toddlers are unique and the space they will occupy should be designed to be warm and nurturing. Ample space for a variety of activities with a home-like atmosphere needs to be provided. They will need a design that is stimulating as well as a space that is restful which provides ample opportunities for positive interactions with adult caregivers. Three or four low shelves (no more than 24 inches tall) should create separate play areas. A toddler loft with stairs and a ramp provides opportunities for more active play. Crib or sleeping area. The infant sleeping area should be a calm, quiet place within the infant room where infants are visible to caregivers at all times. It should not be separated from the infant room as a whole by solid partitions or walls. If your space is limited stacking or double decker cribs will help conserve the floor space infants need. Only commercial grade cribs should be used. Diapering area with sink This area should be oriented so that all children are still visible to the staff who is diapering. There should be a commercial diaper table and a compartment or cubby in close proximity for each infant’s diapers and wipes. The sink should be designated for hand washing for diapering ONLY. There aren't many rigorous standards in place for nursery products, and manufacturers are not required to test their products for safety. Additionally, the most common place kids get hurt is on the playground. Parents should:
Providers should:
Choosing appropriate toys and child care equipment materials is an important part of the child care provider's job. When you observe the children in your child care program, you begin to know them well and to learn how to support their development. A child just starting to draw probably needs large, chunky crayons. A kindergartner who is mastering writing may prefer smaller crayons or fine-tipped markers to draw. Choose materials that encourage children to take the next step in their development. Be sure to choose toys that encourage large-motor, small-motor and thinking skills, as well as social skills and self-awareness.
