DEVELOPMENTAL WORKSHEET - Illinois State University



Mennonite College of Nursing at Illinois State University

Nursing Care of Children 317

DIRECTIVES FOR DAYCARE SITES

GENERAL:

You MUST have reviewed the Growth & Developmental milestones on the worksheet before you arrive, and have in mind how you will assess achievement of developmental tasks (you may use toys at the daycare as well as observation to task achievement).

You MUST be familiar with the National Resource Center Standards for Childcare Centers before you arrive, as you will be assessing them in Section I of this worksheet. (Please read the following sections on the National Resource Center Standards for Childcare Centers in Illinois at the following website before going to the daycare: . Scroll down to Subpart F Structure & Safety, Section 407.270; Subpart G, Health & Hygiene, all sections.) This information will help you to have a better understanding of the standards that childcare centers must meet for licensing to protect children and promote health and safety.

TIMES: 3 hour block of time that meets your needs and the Daycare Center (2:30pm-5:30pm recommended.)

When you arrive, check in with the front desk, introduce yourselves (preferably to the contact person), and ask to be shown where each room is located. You will rotate around to each room, spending 30-45 minutes per room depending on how many different rooms there are. Take into account that the younger the child, the earlier that room begins lunch/nap time. For example, don’t save the toddlers for last, because they nap sooner than the 4-5y/o’s. Most lunch/nap times begin around 11:30, but it varies from center to center. Naps should be over by the time you arrive in the afternoon.

Have a strategy planned out including how much time you will spend in each room, so that you can complete all segments of the Developmental Worksheet. Some daycare centers may not have young infants or older school age children. If that is the case simply note it on your worksheet.

The Developmental Worksheet is to be completed while at the Day Care Center and submitted to your clinical instructor in your clinical folder the week you attend. The worksheet is worth 10 points if completed thoroughly.

DRESS:

Wear casual, comfortable, neat clothes, (not t-shirts and no blue jeans) and your name pin. You will be on the floor playing (assessing) these children. Please remember your attire is representing our College of Nursing. The Centers have requested that you NOT wear blue jeans for your observation. Thanks.
