make it simple and have schedule that is both flexible yet consistent. for example meals and naps around the same time each day, as well as the circle time routine. as for other activities have them planned but if children seem like not participating in small group be flexible enough to mayne go outside earlier or some dance music time to get the wiggles out before doing small group.

make sure you have observations ready to show parents and write down what the observation is and what does it mean. simplify to parents if needed. take notes of key points to talk about .

it helps to design activities that are appropriate for the child age and level he/she is at at the moment. it also helps the teacher have a guide where children are developmentally and can show any red flags when observing.

i think screen time has changes the way children play now. i have seen children not want to play with other children they rather be watching tv. they have become more aggressive and don’t want to do activities. i think it shouldnt be introduced early maybe around 2 years is ok to start but limited time.

maybe talk to parents to see what is causing her to be late if it only happened a few times. but if its too many times a week for more than a few months do talk to parent that other programs offer loger daycare hours. if there is a contract remind her of agreement and she must pay late pick up fee. but also be considerate that life happens and if this parent has a long commute chances there will be some late pick ups.

WAC states that there should be learning opportunities that diverse in activities and material. I would ask the family maybe in a worksheet where they can write anything about themselves that i think is important to know when a new child arrives. if the child only speaks their native language i will make sure to be able to communicate with child mayne ask parents basic communication to teach me to make child be confortable. make an effort to learn more about the childs culture and implement int my day to day activities like in the food served or talking about it through books or posters.
