The Daycare Assessment

Read the scenario below to inform the assignment:

• You are working in an early childhood program at your local
  daycare. One day you are approached by a mother who has a
  6-month-old baby girl named Kaylee. The mother is concerned that she
  does not know how and when her baby should be developing. She is
  seeking your advice about developmental milestones that her child
  should experience from now until entering kindergarten and what she
  can do to assist her baby in reaching these milestones in the areas
  of nutrition, health, and safety.

Write a 750-1,000 word narrative informing the mother the different
developmental milestones, including brain development, which her child
should go through from ages 6 months to 5 years. Include guidance on
how she can promote development successfully, especially focusing on
the areas of nutrition, health, and safety.

In addition, include 3-5 resources for the mother that depict both
typical and atypical development and help to explain how nutrition,
health, and safety can promote healthy brain development, for future reference.

While APA format is not required for the body of this
assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text
citations and references should be presented using APA documentation
guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in
the Student Success Center.
