Order Description

Description: Length: 1600-1800 words
The purpose of this assignment is to give you an opportunity to observe an early childhood setting for infants and toddlers with a focus on language and literacy

development. [Outcomes 2, 3, 5 & 6]
1. Find a long day care centre that caters for infants and toddlers. A letter that you can take with you when you approach the Director of a centre, explaining the

assignment and asking permission for you to observe the environment for infants and toddlers for approximately three hours is available to download from the iLearn

website. Please arrange a time with the Director to visit the infants’/toddlers’ room in the centre.
2. While at the centre, observe all aspects of the environment. You will need to take notes, observations, and draw sketches and/or diagrams, to record as much

relevant information as you can.
3. DESCRIBE and ANALYSE the physical environment in terms of its potential to support the children’s language and literacy learning (800-900 words).
• Refer to all aspects including size, colour, lighting, layout, furnishings etc.
