This doctoral capstone project will focus on the education of staff, by a doctoral capstone student, within a daycare setting in order to improve their current knowledge and ability to implement concepts of occupational therapy into the daily routines of their classes. The purpose of this project is to educate the staff of a childcare facility on the topics of sensory awareness, behavior modification, health and wellness, and left brain/right brain, while working within the classrooms to identify areas of need and apply the topics in order to improve the knowledge and abilities of the staff. Education occurred through presentations regarding each topic, and classroom collaboration with the staff. Data was gathered through pre- and post- surveys in order to determine changes in staff level of competence, ability to relate the topic to the class, and resources available. Overall, improvements were seen in nearly all topics covered at the site, demonstrating that the staff's knowledge and implementation abilities increased due to the education they received on concepts involved within occupational therapy.
