Talk with the child and really listen to them. Give them an identifier into what they are feeling. Show them ways to comfort and calm themselves. It can be breathing, it can be rubbing their feet. It can be finding space.

I would say be consistent in your daily routine, maintain safety, take time to have a one on one moment with each student each day, even if it is short. Actively listen, give the kids room to express themselves, and show genuine interest.

Space away from other cribs. No blankets or stuff animals in the crib. If the child seems cold add another layer of clothing before rest time.

Having interactive songs and games such as duck duck goose or using a parachute gets the blood going. Also having lots of toy areas for kids to play. I really enjoy having stations for kids to able to try different things. Also having a toy rotation always helps.

Incorporate songs, poems, and lively interaction to make the routine more fun.

MemberJanuary 16, 2023 at 6:05 pm in reply to: Trainer Monitored Discussion – Discuss Safety ProceduresDuring a tour I would show parents how to enter the school and to be sure to close the door behind them. Next i would point out the safety exits, fire extinguishers, first and first aid kit. After that I would show them how chemicals/cleaning supplies are stored away from children. I would have them see that each child has their own storage for clothing, and there own area in the fridge for alternative milks or breast milk. I would point out the safety procedures that are posted in the entrance, and show them where there emergency contact information would be stored.
