Visit to Childcare centre Reflection: ChildFirst
The visit to ChildFirst childcare centre was a pleasant surprise. As it is my first visit to a preschool that integrates technology into its curriculum, it was an interesting experience as i understood the different ways they integrate and lessen workload for teachers.
I find it very comforting that the group principal focuses on the welfare of the teachers. Technology used in the preschool is not only used to support children's learning but also to support teachers. By doing so, teachers can save time on lesson planning and creating take home kits. When teachers are happy, the quality of lesson delivered by teachers will also be of a better standard. This seems to be especially true as shared by the group principal as teachers have less task on hand such as lesson planning. In addition, they are given longer breaks which would enable them to brainstorm different ideas on how they can extend their lesson.
The visit to ChildFirst was indeed an eye opener, introducing me to many interesting ways that technology can be implemented into a preschool setting.
