Journal entry 2

  while reading chapter 1 I learned how to define the communication needs of my audiences, identify who my target audience is, how to convey the message I want to convey to them, and how to recognize the 10 most common pitfalls in effective communications and how I can avoid them.

ACTIVITY 1.1
     My target audience is:
     Families of my current students
     Co-Workers
     Potential Students and their families

ACTIVITY 1.2
In the situation of the child being bitten I would also notify the parents of the bitter and work with them on a solution.

ACTIVITY 1.3
My vision for my center is for it to be a thriving successful will respected child care center full to capacity.

My rates are very reasonable. I charge $50.00  a week less than the closest daycare in my  rural area.

I an an academically oriented center with a curriculum provided daily and adjusted to the abilities of each child.

I explain my polices and procedures when the parents interview/tour my facility. My policy is to get every child kindergarten ready with curriculum and educational videos and games.

My strengths are I have a family oriented environment with more one on one care. My center is also special needs accessible.

I areas I am improving is getting the parents more involved and to improve my curriculum.
