  DAYCARE RECOMMENDATION!!! So my last observation for school was at Amalia Family Licensed In-Home Daycare. I learned so much during my visit and was very impressed. Amalia and her husband were incredibly kind and welcoming. They told me they would help me with anything I needed and were very supportive of my goals and future plans in early childhood education. Watching them interact with the children and seeing how they run their daycare business was inspiring. Amalia redirected the children calmly and effectively and consistently reminded them to use their manners. It was clear that the children learn a lot in her program while also feeling comfortable and cared for. Her husband even prepared lunch for the children, and honestly it looked so good it made me wish I was enrolled too! It was great to see both of them involved and working together. Both Amalia and her husband speak Spanish, so their program is bilingual. This is such a benefit for children because being exposed to multiple languages at a young age supports cognitive development and cultural awareness. Amalia does have an accent, and we talked about how sometimes it makes it harder for families to give her a chance because they assume she may not know as much or cannot communicate clearly. However, that is simply not the case. Amalia, her husband, and I talked for quite a while, and I was able to understand her well. Some things were a little harder to understand than others, but there is nothing wrong with speaking up and saying, “I’m sorry, I didn’t understand.” Sometimes she would say something in Spanish and then repeat it in English, which I actually loved. It showed how inclusive and welcoming the environment is. Another thing I noticed was the difference between children in center-based childcare and those in an in-home daycare. Children in centers still learn a lot and have many great opportunities, but there are often many transitions throughout the day that can interrupt play or learning. While transitions are important for development, in-home daycares often provide a more consistent and family-like environment. In an in-home daycare, children often grow up together. From around six weeks old to five years old, they spend years learning, playing, and developing alongside the same group of children. Over time they become like a small family. The environment feels comfortable and familiar, almost like being at a family member’s house. Seeing Amalia’s husband helping and interacting with the children also gave me hope and inspiration for my own future in-home daycare. It reminded me how meaningful it can be when families work together to create a nurturing space for children. Everyone has the right to choose what they believe is best for their children, but judging someone should never be the reason not to give them a chance. Just because someone may look different or speak with an accent does not mean they do not know how to care for children. I have seen people who look perfectly put together treat others poorly, so judging someone based on appearance or language is simply not right. Diversity and acceptance are incredibly important in early childhood education because children benefit from experiencing different cultures, languages, and perspectives. If you ever have the opportunity, I highly encourage you to check out Amalia’s daycare and the amazing work she does. It is clear that she and her family truly care about the children they work with and have created a warm, supportive environment for them.
