I feel like this is a very touchy subject. I personally do about an hour a day not all at once for screen time. We watch you tube videos on how to mix colors when we are painting, I play educational videos on diversity when new children join our program. We also take turns as a class and one child a day get to pick something they want to learn facts on, Dinosaurs, animals, shapes etc. I do not see it as a bad thing at all. It creates group discussions, let’s them calm their bodies down and be engaged in watching.

WAC 100-3–0160 Speaks about culture and diversity. How I would add this to my classroom is through toys, posters, and items through different countries. Have the child come in, talk openly about there country, there family. If the child is bilingual have the child during a learning activity answer questions on their language to let the other child try to speak it as well.

In my Childcare program we do serve and return with most activities. We love our circle time, we rotate through getting to the “dress the frog” for what the weather is that day, going over the month day, how to change our circle clock. All the children get very excited at circle time.

I agree with this, I have in my policy late fee schedules. I need open comunication from the parents if they will be late. If it seems to be consistent i would ask for an evening phone call or parent teacher meeting. I would explain to the parents that this is affecting the child with being the last to be picked up. I would also explain i have 3 children of my own that this schedule is not working for me as we have after school activities and let the parents respond before making any decisions.
