Chcece033 Assessment 2 Case Study 1 Kazim by Rachael-Lyn Anderson
During enrolment at the Little.ly Early Learning Centre, Talia told Yindi (educator) that she was
nervous about leaving Kazim (22 months) in long day care.
Yindi told Kazim’s mum that it might be helpful if she stayed with Kazim for a couple of days in the
beginning. To help Kazim become familiar with the educators, service’s routine and environment.
Together Yindi and Talia worked out a way to ease Kazim into long day care. They used the following
strategies.
Gradually leaving Kazim after the initial ‘orientation’ period for short periods until eventually he was
there for the full day.
Talia filled out the ‘about my child’ section of the enrolment form carefully describing Kazim’s
sleeping habits, comforters (teddy and pacifier), fears/phobias, likes, cultural connections, family
traditions, interests, temperament, personality, stages of development and significant people in his life.
Emailing a photo book to Talia that showed the room and activities that Kazim would spend his time
doing so that Talia could explain to him in the language spoken at home what he would be doing while
she was at work
Eventually Talia returned to full-time work, and Kazim was in long-day care Monday to Friday.
Talia told Yindi that she was finding it very hard to leave Kazim because he was clingy and cried after
she left. Yindi asked Talia what Kazim was interested in. Yindi said that since they had visited the zoo
he loved to talk about the wild animals.
They agreed that when Talia arrived at the service, Yindi together with Talia would sit down and read
the book about zoo animals to distract him from Talia leaving. After Talia left, Yindi continued to
encourage Kazim to play with rubber zoo animals and has given him five finger puppets of zoo animals
which he can wear during play time with the other children at the service. Yindi agreed to email photos
of Kazim playing happily to Talia throughout the day and encouraged her to ring the service to see how
Kazim had settled in as many times as she needed to.
Although these things seemed to work, Talia told Yindi that Kazim had become very clingy at night-
time and she was still worried about him.
Talia thought it was a good idea to tell Kazim when she would be back and leave him a small item from
home (tiny donkey that Kazim’s grandmother had knitted) to look after: ‘Bye Yindi, I will be back after
afternoon tea, please look after Jadda’s donkey until I get back.’ They also decided to include photos of
Kazim’s family life on the family board in Kazim’s room.
These strategies seemed to help Kazim feel connected to his mum when she was gone, and he was able
to say goodbye happily.
