Final Observation Report

My center observation was done at The Early Learning Center. I saw a mixture of inappropriate and appropriate practices. The inappropriate practices that I saw were during the teacher to child ratio. There were probably twenty to thirty children and there was only one helper in the room handing out food and trying to watch them, the wrest was in the break room having lunch.

My Pre-k observation was done at the Grade School. Here I saw more inappropriate practices.
