Response to question 4:
The first trend closely adheres to the thought that ‘Child Care is Early Education’.
Nowadays, caring for the young children is not just babysitting. Child-care institutions have
nowadays transformed to early education centres. The young toddlers are tangled with
the early learning, which these centres makes it easy for them. The trend shows that these
learning centres are established in order to fulfil the high parent, school expectations. As
shown by researches that children are capable of learning important things from a very early
age remains a fact (Palaiologou 2016). That is why, in order to adapt to social demands and
sociocultural changes – these children centres transformed to early education centres. The
centres offer formal early age educational curriculum and the staffs working in this early
learning framework receive prolific training in educational strategies for pre-schoolers.
Technology driven education is a new trend and it has eased the transmission of
knowledge across all groups. All because children are more attracted to colours, visual and
auditory stimuli – audio-visual education is a very good option for teaching them (Jacob,
Decker and Lugg 2016). These facilities provide video streaming sessions, audio video
mediated classroom activities, throughout the day to the children (Taggart 2016). The
providers take regular photos of the children and send them to their parents via a daily post or
in form of online weekly blogs and electronic newsletters parents and even exchange emails
with the parents. The technology allows parents and the providers to stay in close touch and
interact collaboratively for betterment of their youngsters (Barsky 2019). A fail-safe child
Care is expected nowadays and every child care providers are constantly assessing the
immediate environment (Care, 2015) of the children to protect them from any dangers.

Response to question 5:
Firstly, a strong leadership enhances the capacity of a Quality Improvement
Leadership to act efficiently with the partnership board, the partnership staffs and the child-
care providers. This is required to provide a ‘top quality’ child care service. The partnerships
board focuses persistently on the quality improvement parameters to get the donations and
primarily, to make the children’s stay in the center, a meaningful experience (Lim 2015). A
friendly competition between the providers and the educators is a distinct motivational drive.
The successful partnership in terms of educator- child, child-child, educator-educator comes
from the sense of equity and when practiced in a pragmatic sense (Shapiro and Stefkovich
2016). The practice of equity, self-awareness, compassion and empathic relationship building
with children and my peer is something that I always looked forward to and taking a self-
responsibility is the first step to leadership.
Secondly, a strategic planning is the next cardinal step that follows the leadership
idea. This phase of QIP will help improve my multifaceted approach skills that are required
to address complex situations in a preplanned way (Björklund and Barendregt 2016). This
phase set the goals and the step-wise procedure to achieve the laid plans and objectives.
Since, the beginning of my career – I had been a deduction thinker and I preferred taking
propositions from my peers and seniors while strategizing for a child care program for my
center.
Thirdly, professional development programs and training session are critical. These
trainings are guided towards complete children centered methods. Observational, reflective
and an individualized approach to care for each children in an unique way. Communication,

partnered education, multiple teaching types and assessment taking are the key areas that I
believe I can improve upon as an educator. As for QIP, the organizational head beside
looking after the children needs and educational needs – should also look after the economic
stability of its educators and try to enhance the whole situation. they hiring qualified teaching
staffs help develop quality. Working along with qualified and genuine peers helps the
reflective, interactive and observational skill development of the other educators.
Finally, partnerships are greatly enhancing quality of the child care in each of the
communities. Partnering with community members, social workers, experienced teachers - is
an important strategy and is the cardinal provision of a quality child care. A better
communication and understand between the educators comes from active listening, problem
solving skills and empathy building exercises must be used to stimulate a partnered decision
making. A culturally safe education practice would help the children to adhere to their own
cultured while respecting the culture of others. The educators should be first interacting with
the parents in a culturally competent manner in order to facilitate the same. Hence, a
communication and cultural training is pertinent to the quality improvement plan.
Response to question 6:
A). My intercultural communication needs have to be addressed so that I can contribute
competently to the new child care trends.
B). The codes of Ethics also known as Codes of Practice provides the ethically correct
guidelines for us to follow, as educators. Codes provide the general principles for a specific,
verifiable, justifiable child care practice and these quotes also provide the tools to monitor,
check and evaluate the educator’s daily practice.
I have always adhered to the Code of Ethics which sets up an appropriate behaviour to
be expected out of early education professionals. The standards and the code of ethics
