Things to do, things not to do
Things to do:
-Book a visit before placement begins so that you are aware of the setting, times could be arranged and that you can inform the staff members of the purpose of the placement
-Make sure you take a coat with you as you would be required to go outside with the children
-Take pack lunch with you as your break is only 30 minutes and there aren't many shops around the nursery
-If you wish to undertake an activity with children, ensure you inform the staff members so that they can arrange a day within their planning
-Be prepared for long hours and hard work!
-Interact with all the children as each child is unique
-Gain an experience within all rooms
-If you cannot attend ensure that you ring the placement within the morning
-Ensure you have black trousers, black tops and flat shoes as this will be your uniform
-Be polite to children, staff members, parents/carers
-Research the Montessori Approach beforehand
Things not to do:
-Do not be late
-Do not just sit in one place, move around the setting
-Do not be rude
-Do not park at the front of the nursery, there is parking spaces at the back of the nursery
-Do not forget to ask permission when taking photographs or carrying out an activity with children (the research must be ethical)
It is useful to arrange a visit before the placement begins so that you are aware of the location and where there is parking facilities (if travelling by car) and bus stops. During the visit you could discuss the purpose of the placement and what is needed to be gained in order for you to continue with your studies; placement times can also be arranged. It is also important to be aware of the dress code so that you are prepared for when placement begins.
