Playschool is a practical hands on experience brought into the classroom for your benefit, and your attendance is mandatory.  If you miss a day of Playschool, you MUST make up the points!  (Please see me for an approved assignment)  Dates for Playschool are listed under the playschool page in the attached brochure.

Portfolio:  You will need a 3 ring binder. 

Throughout the class you will create (or continue) a portfolio in your 3-ring binder.  The portfolio will consist of everything we cover through the semester. 

 

ACCT:

 Child Care Careers is a class which you can earn your ACCT (Assistant Child Care Teacher) certification, as well as advanced standing (FREE College Credit!) at LTC if you meet all requirements.

 

Attendance: 

To receive your ACCT, and LTC advanced standing you must met the 85% attendance.  Attendance is important to the class, because if you are not here, you missed the learning opportunity. 

 Observations: 

You must observe 10 hours through the semester.  You must complete at least 5 of these hours prior to the end of 1st quarter.  Observations must be done in a licensed Child Care Center. 

 Grade:

To receive ACCT certification, as well as LTC advanced standing you must receive a grade of C+ or better.
