As an educator, you need to always make the safety of your children as a top priority.
It is important to remember that playground equipment should be sturdy, securely fastened and most important of the appropriate size. Make sure that there s sand or soft earth under the rope ladders, trees, swings and board used for sliding. Always check for rough edges, sharp corners and loose nails which can hurt the children.
Even indoor furniture should have no sharp edges or protrusions that could harm the children in any way. All the items and equipment should be suitable for the children. Books with hardly any pictures and too many words are not at all suitable for young kids. Picture puzzles that have too many pieces are way complex for the young children to solve.
Unsafe toys should be avoided. Always ensure that your play school is equipped with non-toxic toys. As a childcare teacher, ensure that the activities that you plan, it should be child safe. Ensure that all the equipment and materials are safe for children’s use.
Always teach and instruct the children proper way to use the equipment like scissors, beads etc.
Always ensure that the equipment is well maintained. If any piece is broken, the repair should be done immediately.
