In larger child care setting with a variety of caregivers, which one of the following guidelines is best for?

Question

infants and toddlers?

a. children should choose the caregiver they prefer.

b. caregivers should make a point of rotating the care of each child to avoid playing favorites.

c. each child should have one person who is their special or primary caregiver.

d. parents should indicate the caregiver they would prefer to care for their child.

Answer 1

C because the child then has someone who they can bond closely with and go to primarily but still interacts with the other caregivers so if the primary caregiver is sick or something the child is less likely to be so upset

Answer 2

Children should choose the caregiver they prefer.

Answer 3

c and d are both true to a large degree.  

At the same time, you do know these types of questions violate the terms of service and are reportable, do you not?

Answer 4

I think that b is the best answer.  The children should be used to lall of the caregivers.  It is not fair to the child to get used to one person and then have the person be absent one day or worse the person is fired or quits.  All of the children should be treated equally anyway!

Answer 5

c. Primary caregiver is the gold standard.It is important that children, particularly Infants, develop a strong bond with their caregivers. Now do the rest of your work on your own. I've helped enough.

Answer 6

Do you have a book with the answers that you should be reading. Or listened to the lectures in the classroom. You do have several questions that sure sound like you need them for your homework or a test. I wonder how much you will be able to apply once you are working with children. It is time you do your own homework in my opinion.

Answer 7

I believe that c would be the best choice.

This situation seems ideal because in a classroom setting, children only have one primary teacher.

Also, seeing as this is directed to infants and toddlers, it's sometimes difficult for them to open up to people, and this way, the caregiver can get a feel for the child's personality and their likes and dislikes.
