Task 2: Reflective practice This is a real-world project based on scenarios or ethical dilemmas that you are likely to encounter in your professional work with preschoolers. It is important that you develop skills and understanding of these issues, and reflect on how to address them, with reference to your theoretical understanding, the National Quality Standards (NQS), the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and current research in the field. Background for the scenario You are the trained teacher in a room with 25 children aged 3-5 years. The other educators in the room include one trained with a Diploma in Children's Services, Michelle, and the other educator, Zarla, is working towards Certificate III in Children's Services. Your centre is open for ten and a half hours per day from 7.30am until 6pm. You work full time on a variety of eight-hour shifts. The centre is licensed for 79 children and is a for-profit early learning centre. Scenario One of the children, Ishmael, in your room, who is 4.0 years old, sleeps for one hour per day at your centre. The child arrives at the centre every morning at 7.45am and is picked up at 5.45pm five days per week. Both parents work full time. The parents come to you, as the teacher in the preschool room, and say they do not want Ishmael to sleep anymore at the centre because she is not going to sleep at home until 11pm. They need their sleep, as they are both busy working. How do you respond to the parents, and what do you do to ensure that the parents and the children are achieving the best outcomes possible? Address the unit material, the relevant principles of the EYLF V2.0 (AGDE, 2022) and the NQS (ACECQA, 2018)- especially Quality areas 1, 2 and 6.
