Question 1:
Read the scenario below and answer some questions on effective supervision and the control of germs using
what you learned in the session.
Laurie works at a facility-based child care program and is taking courses to become certified as a Level 1 Early
Childhood Educator. Last Tuesday was a busy day for Laurie.
She was taking care of three toddlers when one of them announced that she had to “go potty”. The other two
suddenly decided that they had to do the same. Laurie looked around to let her room partner know that she
is taking the three toddlers to the classroom bathroom, but her room partner was engaged playing with other
children. “How hard can it be?” thought Laurie as she led the three children to the bathroom.
Two of the children had soiled their diapers. Before changing them, Laurie washed her hands. She proceeded to
change each child’s diaper. While Laurie was removing the diaper of the second child, the third child said, “I really
have to go potty” and wet his pants. Laurie disposed of the diapers, then rinsed off the little boy’s pants.
When the children were done, Laurie quickly got them dressed and sent them back to the snack area so that she
could clean up. She wiped her hands on her smock and then followed the children to the snack area where she
prepared crackers, cheese and fruit.
