That's a good question!

If they are part of your overall ratio I think then they need to be programmed for as well... Not too sure though...

Hi Grandma,
From one grandma to another, in my scheme if the children are in on the same day that you are working they have to be included into the program, obs, documentation and have portfolio's. This also included my grandchildren but I was getting paid for them.
I'm not sure if it specific touches that point in the regs but ask you scheme, your scheme might have it in their policies. An Educator in our scheme was told that her own child, when she is at home when the educator was working had to be included. Really we are doing the work anyway with the other kids and having a nice portfolio of your own child at the end of the year would be nice too. My own kids loved the portfolio's I gave them of the grandkids.
