...Resubmission – M1 Another issue with Primark was regarding child labour; Primark had been using child labour in Bangladesh and India. Primark clothes were being made in India and Bangladesh by factories using child labour. Hundreds of people had been protesting outside Primark’s Oxford Street store in London to claim that Primark has been using Child Labour. Primark sacked three of its clothing suppliers in India after being told that the programme has evidence of its suppliers subcontracted the work to the factories using child labour. George Weston who is a chief executive of Associated British Foods and which owns Primark said the company's Indian contractors were guilty of ‘wholesale deception’. According to my research children as young as 11 were working in a squalid conditions, sewing tiny beads and sequins onto cheap T-shirts and also Primark’ s fashion sweatshops pay them just 60p a day which is lower than a minimum wage. Primark was alerted to the use of child labour in southern India by a BBC Panorama investigation. A spokesman from Primark said that ‘Primark is an ethical organisation and take its responsibilities seriously’. So at this point, I would say that it can be improved if the British government introduce regulation to prevent using child labour. Primark is working overtime to gain back its reputation and try to avoid any illegal labour practices and poor working conditions in its supply chain. Another issue was that one of Primark’s UK suppliers was found...

...Short title 1 Running Head: Short Title? Title ? Keller Graduate School of Management Short title 2 1.0 Executive Summary Saint Patrick’s Nursery is debating on whether or not to incorporate Wednesday into their regular schedule. The nursery can compete with hourly daycare offer by Play Date and the Child Development Centers of the Army base Fort Bragg. The lower price that they offer will help the nursery compete against others, adding value and a good reputation to the service provided. The focus is to meet the demands of the stay at home parents requesting the need of one more day. The financial objectives are to obtain at least ten kids from ten different households, pay at least three employees and at still break-even for that particular day. 2.0 Situation Analysis Saint Patrick’s Nursery was open about 20 years ago with the purpose of taking care of kids while the parents attended mass. Throughout the years the nursery requests from parents has help developed the concept of Parent’s Morning Out (PMO) open on Tuesdays and Fridays morning only. It has come to the attention of the current Nursery Director the need of one extra day. However, in order to open the nursery on Wednesdays, the nursery must have at least ten children from ten different households. This is due because children from the same household receive a discount for the service. Hourly daycare is increasing in popularity and demand. Stay at home parents find it more easily to find...

Do you know the Muffin Man, Who lives on Drury Lane? Yes I know the Muffin Man, The Muffin Man, the Muffin Man. Yes I know the Muffin Man Who lives on Drury Lane. The historical context of “Do you know the Muffin Man” goes back to around 1820, the time when the first known manuscript of this rhyme that the street had degraded into rat-infested lodging houses and tenements housing the poorest Londoners. English muffins were cheap and accessible back in the United Kingdom for the poor residents in the 19th Century. In the rhyme, the Muffin Man would be described wearing a long apron and his stock on a tray on top of his head or around his neck-baring his wares in the streets. There was a rumor that the rhyme had some connection to child abuse. Around 1989, a TV movie was starring Pam Dawber called Do You Know the Muffin Man? And it seemed to have fueled that rumor. It centered on the satanic ritualistic abuse of children at a daycare center and though it is a work of fiction, the references known cases of ill-treatment, caused “a backlash headed by Michael A. Aquino, a High Priest of the Temple of Set.” Work Cited "Origins: Do You Know the Muffin Man?" TreasuryIslands. N.p., 04 Jan. 2012. Web. 08 Sept....

Secondly the company struggles to fill Mondays and Fridays due to the fact the requirements of the UK childcare market have changed. Strengths 1. The school is run by two qualified nurses with over ten years of work experience, which will serve as an added advantage in attracting parents as compared to other nurseries rookies with little or no experience. 2. The wealth of experience and practical knowledge acquired over the ten-year period can serve as a means to transfer knowledge and skills to their other staff. 3. There is going to be a good level of teamwork and understanding between Jane Taylor and Diane Cox since they have worked together in other nurseries. 4. They have finally purchased the modular building which they occupy thus increasing their profit by 3000 dollars per month. 5. Introducing computer administration will enhance service delivery in the nursery. 6. From the onset busy bees rented the land cheaply from the school, which contributed in overcoming the start up pains of starting a business, as the fixed cost was reasonably affordable. 7. The fact that the business started in 2006 and has stabilized and is now profitable has put them in a vantage point over new entrants or others who want to coming into the industry. 8....

...All I ever needed to know, I learned in Kindergarten by Robert Fulghum Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sand box at nursery school. These are the things I learned. Share everything. Play fair. Don't hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you are sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life. Learn some and think some and draw some and paint and sing and dance and play and work everyday. Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out in the world, watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup? The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why. We are like that. And then remember that book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned, the biggest word of all: LOOK! Everything you need to know is there somewhere: The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation, ecology, and politics and the sane living. Think of what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap. Or we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations to always put things...

...I can’t even remember all the times I’ve been asked the question: “Why would you want to be a teacher?” I hear all about how little teachers are paid, and how people “just don’t know how you do it.” I have had people treat me like they don’t really think preschool teachers are teachers, rather, over-paid babysitters. I wrote a blog post on it once, so did my friend, Kristi Sauer. I’ve written about why preschool is important. What I haven’t written about, was why I choose to be a preschool teacher, or more like, why I stay a preschool teacher. It doesn’t pay great, especially if you are working in a child care setting. Working for a school district pays significantly better, but still doesn’t offer some of the benefits that “regular” teachers get (such as health care, pay stretched out over the summer, etc.). Those things don’t matter so much to me. Yes, this has led to some huge financial struggles over the years, but to me, doing what I love is more important. There have been a couple of amazing opportunities over the years that I have passed up on. The pay on said positions was much higher, but they weren’t teaching jobs. A Director position wasn’t hands on enough for me… My passion is to teach young children. The highlights of my days at work are when I see a child’s eyes light up when they learn/try something new. When they suddenly are able to make the letters in their name, or do something they weren’t previously able to do, I get as excited as they do. When a...

...focus on the nursery environment and the curriculum. Legislation The legislation which is commonly used in New Zealand is the 'Education (Early Childhood Centres) Regulations 1998'. The nursery will be inspected at least every three years. The legislation covers things such as the basic curriculum, child protection, staff ratios, qualifications and attendance of staff and children. They will also look at health and safety, first aid and the involvement of parents. The legislation used in New Zealand is similar to the National Care Standards which are used in Scotland. These standards are for childcare services for children and young people up to the age of 16. These standards are regulated under the Regulation of care (Scotland) Act 2001. There are 14 standards which act as guidelines for nursery settings to follow. The Nursery will then be inspected by the care inspectors and will be graded 1-6. These inspections can happen every 1-2 years depending on the nursery grades. The standards will include such things as being welcomed and valued, having a safe environment, how staff engage with children, staff training and the involvement of parents and the community. With regards to legislation the two countries are similar as they each are following guidelines which are keeping standards high. They are each inspected regularly, although Scottish nurseries will be inspected more often than New Zealand. Parental Involvement Within New Zealand nurseries parents are involved...

In today’s society parent are pursuing their careers and working outside of the homes. There is a demand for children to be taken care of while parents are working in order to provide for their families.

Parents seek different types of care, depending on their working hours, affordability, and the quality of childcare offered.

Parents have guidelines that they must follow pertaining to the center expectation from the parent. The staff-child ratio varies...

...Nursery Rhymes Analysis There are many reasons why nursery rhymes continue to be a big hit in children’s lives. The fact that nursery rhymes are usually accompanied by a chant or a physical trait (performance) makes it easier for children to internalize the rhymes. The frequency in which children use these nursery rhymes is quite high. Yet, children themselves are oblivious to how often they use them. They use them at school during instructional time, but most important, they use them at play. Nursery rhymes have elements that assist with cognitive, lanugage , physical and social/ emotional developments. Some of these rhymes have significant meaning (historical meaning), some even include a moral lesson. Transition times are often difficult for preschool children and their teachers. These early childhood rhymes and songs help children move from one activity to another. When children become familiar with just a few transitional rhymes they become secure in their knowledge of what comes next. Many nursery rhymes use the classic number three. For example, The Three Little Pigs, portrays this classic number three. This pattern seems to add drama and suspense while making the story easy to remember and follow. The third event often signals a change or ending for the audience/reader. A third time also dismisses coincidence such as two repetitive events would suggest. The number three’s popularity has been considered powerful across history in different cultures and religions. Some...

I was called on 26th Jan 2014 at any time between 9am till 3:15pm so I asked my sister and dad to drop me but unfortunately they were not free that day so I asked my brother he said he was available at 1pm so I decided to go at that time because I did not have any fix time by the manager so the day before my interview I texted Elaine as I had her mobile number and asked her that was it possible that she will be free at 1pm to see me and she replied that she is available. After doing my college and house work I read the letter that I got from Jacque and in that there were some restrictions on dressing so I read that and I was not allowed to wear short dresses, jeans and trainers so I decided to wear my simple and decent Asian clothes and then took them out of the cupboard and ironed them after that I took matching shoes and made sure they were clean after that I took out my DBS certificate from my file and put that in my bag and then made sure that my college ID was in bag.

...Infants, Young Children & Daycare name ENG122: English Composition II Instructor: date Infants, Young Children & Daycare In the day that we live in, it is not uncommon for a child to have both parents working. Because of this, a vast majority of infants and young children attend daycare prior to entering grade school. While in a child care environment, for example, daycare, infants and young children are subjected to different types of stimulation that can greatly impact both their cognitive development as well as social skills later in life. Daycare can also enhance those children’s ability to learn at a faster pace when entering kindergarten. For this reason, daycare should be available to infants and young children prior to entering grades K-12. Social skills are very important not only for adults, but for children as well. The development of a person’s social skills begins at birth and grows rapidly from there. A great place for a child to start building these skills would be in the form of daycare. When a child is in daycare, they are automatically subjected to a world full of different types of people. As stated in the article, Pre School years equally as important as K-12, “Licensed caregivers in either a pre-school or daycare setting have the skills and knowledge to guide young children through this social maze” (Courtenay, B.C. para 5) Daycare provides an environment for infants and young children to interact with different types of people which then...
