    Child Care

    Centers on Saipan
    Formal Child Care before Entering the First Grade
    Chelsea Encio

    About the Research


    This research paper is about the importance of having children attend schools
    before the actual schools here in Saipan. Daycares on island are a fresh start
    for toddlers, they can learn to get along with other children their age and be
    sure they are being cared for. Preschool is where children transition and learn
    educational things that they will carry on to the next level. Kindergarten is
    where children, usually around the age four to six will be prepared to advance
    to the first grade. We have many daycares, preschools and kindergarten on
    island and what is the purpose of that? Many students start first grade in a
    public or private school with no educational background. It would be more
    difficult for the elementary teachers to start fresh just to help these new
    students who have no experience inside a classroom or a school environment.

    Literature Review
    Using Google Scholar search located a book called Early Childhood Education by
    Barbara Bowman. The book helped the student researcher transition from the
    importance of child education to the importance of child development, which support
    the theories of development and learning of children below the age of seven.
    A textbook called Child Development by Laura E. Berk has many theories on how
    different child developments process.
    News articles found in the Marianas Variety that talked about child care funds for
    the centers on Saipan that would help families in need. It helps current news items
    support the research essay because the funding for child care are important to the
    islands parents of young children, and the residents who need the educational
    centers to be affordable for their children to learn and grow in a fun, safe, and
    healthy environment.

    Primary and Secondary


    Questions

    Primary Question:
    Are child care facilities effective in the island of Saipan?
    Secondary Question 1:
    If the children of the island of Saipan attend a child care facility, will
    it help improve their minds before they advanced to the first grade?
    Secondary Question 2:
    What helps children develop the skills and behavior to learn within a
    classroom environment?

    Methodology
    There are three methods that were used to help gain information for this research project,
    one is a survey, the other is an interview, and the last one would be an observation.
    The survey has helped provide a generalize opinion on child care centers. The survey
    would be based on the experiences of the participants with child care centers in the island
    of Saipan.
    Interviewing parents of children who attend and did not attend the child care centers and
    a one on one interview with principals and teachers of elementary schools that have
    expertise on child development and learning.
    Observation between the different schools and child care facilities in Saipan. This method
    will be the most effective one because being in the classroom or child care facility to see
    and gain experience on how children behave and learn would provide a first person point
    of view information for the student researcher.

    Analysis
    People who answered the surveys left comments on pros and cons of
    having child care centers on Saipan and it is very effective to read what
    the public has to say about the centers.
    The interviews with the principals and teachers explained how children
    learn and that every one of them are different levels. Having a child
    come in from daycare or preschool or kindergarten has made it easier
    for the teachers to teach them within the class because they have the
    experience.
    Observation of the classes and centers has helped with mini interviews
    with students and instructors and to see what goes on within the room.
