How to Create a Mind Stimulating Environment For Young Children

According to the National Centers for Education in Maternal and Child Health, “Environments that are stimulating for babies and young children up to age 5 are filled with safe objects to explore, allow freedom of movement, and provide a variety of experiences. A stimulating environment can be created in one room of a home, in a home child care setting, or in a center-based environment. Moreover, the most important aspect of a stimulating environment is a caregiver (or caregivers) who can create inviting, challenging play spaces in which to interact with babies and young children, can set limits and be emotionally available to babies and young children, and can read babies’ and young children’s cues and support them when they become overstimulated, fatigued, or bored. “

Today I want to inspire you create a space or classroom (s) that stimulate the mind of young children. In fact, if children are not allowed to freely explore the materials in their environment and are not able to reach the materials in their environment; their minds are not being stimulated.

In my 14 years of setting up environments for young children and studying brain development, I know the importance of having a mind stimulating environment.

I have discovered that when a child’s mind is stimulated, he or she is very engaged in learning. However, if a child’s mind is not stimulated; he or she is bored and disinterested.

So with my discoveries in mind, I want to encourage you to provide a stimulating environment and I have provided some great articles to give you so mind stimulating ideas!

Lets take a look at what a stimulating child care environment looks like, click here

With Quality Care in mind!

Change Your Words…Change Your Child Care Business

You have the power to transform your Business

with your words.

When I opened my Child Care Center, it didn’t take long for me to discover that I hated supervising employees. In fact, I despised it so much that I spoke about it quite often.

Talking about my hate for supervising employees only brought me more difficulties as an employer and it resulted in the following:

  • Meetings about strife amongst employees
  • Employees called off work frequently
  •  Dealing with poor attitudes
  •  High Turnover
  •  Employees walking off the job and many other issues

I think you get the point. My words created years of frustrations for me as an employer and my situation did not change until I changed my words about being an employer.

Your words can also affect your relationship with your parents. If you complain about your families all the time, you just may be complaining your business a way. Try to find the good in every situation, if there is nothing good about dealing with the family; discontinue the relationship.

However, as I developed my leadership skills and changed my words, I was a happier Business Owner and things began to change in my Business.

What about you? Are you happy with your Child Care Business? What have you been speaking over your business lately? Take a moment to reflect….

I want to encourage you to choose your words carefully, because your business will only rise to the words that you speak.
