After another exhausting day at the daycare center, my mother trudges through the door, lets her bags hit the floor, and sighs loudly. “It’s useless trying to talk to these parents sometimes,” she exclaims to no one in particular. “I had another say, ‘I don’t have to listen to you. You people are basically only professional babysitters.’ I do much more than just babysit.” Everyone in the room, having heard this several times before, nod their heads sympathetically but do not actually think about what they are hearing. For awhile, I simply followed what the adults did and agreed with everything my mother said. But once I got older, curiosity started to settle in. Since daycare teachers have to receive hours of training, they are obviously gaining the knowledge to do thorough childcare work. Yet how are these skills translated into the work place? What duties do childcare providers have that make them differ from a “professional babysitter?” Fortunately, being related to a daycare worker provides an opportunity for observing firsthand what happens “behind-the-scenes.”
One of the most distinguishing features about most daycare centers are the whimsical displays and bright colors that decorate their exteriors. It is not uncommon to find a popular cartoon character painted on a center’s glass doors or to be greeted by a window full of paper snowflakes during the winter. Although these displays are easily overlooked and after a while may even become expected, more work goes into creating them than one may suspect. Furthermore, people often give little credit to the creative team behind making these centers look visually appealing- the everyday daycare teachers. Excluding the use of occasional decals, most of the decorations placed in windows and around doors are created by the hands of the daycare’s classroom teachers. The teachers often sacrifice portions of their weekends and lunch breaks to ensure that each paper snowflake (or similar paper ornament) is cut from construction paper and that each painted character is first sketched and then colored. In some cases, even center’s brightly painted brick walls are a result of working overtime. Such projects can range from being completed in a few hours to taking several days before all the components are ready. What’s more, the workers put substantial work into making the building’s interior presentable as well.
Imagine a daycare classroom where cots were scattered carelessly across the floor and toys were placed around the room in no particular order. Not only would the room look dysfunctional but it would also be hazardous for children. Now instead, imagine a room where everything is sectioned off into logical stations and there is plenty of room to walk; each portion of the room is appropriately decorated with an ABC chart close to the bookshelf and previous art projects hanging near the tables. Naturally, the second example sounds extremely more appealing than the first. But the room in the second example would not be able to exist without the dedicated hands of a daycare teacher. In most cases, teachers are responsible for how their classrooms are presented. Classrooms do not look pleasant because the workers were forced to make it look that way or because some decorating team did all the work; the teachers deserve the credit. They make certain that the rooms are not only properly arranged but that they also maintain their appearance. When a child decides to damage a wall chart or mark the floors with crayon, the teachers are the ones who make sure these problems are cleared before the next day. Parents see the amount of work the teachers do each day without even noticing!
The points made so far are interesting but above all else, one would be most curious about whether daycare teachers actually teach. When picturing the everyday activities in a daycare center, it is tempting to imagine that children spend the day doing irrelevant craft projects, singing a few songs about ABC’s and 123’s, and playing for any remaining time. In reality, there is more structure and purpose behind what children do each day. What several people are likely unaware of is that daycare teachers, like school teachers, construct monthly curriculums containing instructions more detailed than “play with clay” or “color a picture”. The purpose of the curriculum is to teach children things like their alphabet, shapes, and colors while developing important skills such as problem solving and team work. Teachers will choose a theme for the week (or sometimes month) that keeps children engaged yet underneath teaches them. For example, the theme for one week could be weather. The week could then consist of focusing on colors related to weather (like blue or gray skies) and creating rain sticks. To the unobservant eye, these activities can be seen as simple daycare nonsense. Looking deeper, however, reveals that a great deal of thought is put into making the daycare experience worthwhile for a child.
