Let kids have the room to talk about how they feel, and narrate if they’re having trouble. “I see you’re sad, is there something you need?”

I think they’re useful in incident/emergency reports or when confused on what the right thing to do is.

Creating a script is a good idea. I would just be brief and honest while still keeping their feelings in mind.

When you know where a child is in their development, you know what you need to do to help them succeed. They may need help with a specific hurdle, or an accommodation in the classroom. Every child is different and needs individual attention.

I think screens should be limited in childcare. Although for school age children I’m sure the occasional educational video in class isn’t a problem.

I think arts and crafts are a good way to engage a group of kids in Serve and Return interaction!

If it becomes a pattern, then I’ll need to talk to her about trying harder to get her kid on time and discuss the impact it has on the facility and take further action if it continues to happen (like a late fee or something depending in the place)

In WAC 110-300-0160 it says that all books, toys, games, and music should be diverse and not enforce stereotypes. There’s also WAC 110-300-0030 which states that early learning programs must not discriminate.
