    You use a single-level crib, infant bed, bassinet, or playpen. The mattress must fit snuggly and each child must have their own sleep space separate from each other.

    Singing is my favorite way to do this! For example, the clean up song, or singing a song while washing hands.

    Report it because I am required by law to do so if I suspect this.

    I agree with many of the responses here that talk about school shootings. This is my biggest fear as well as it has become so frequent.

    Be friendly, patient, understanding and professional. Emphasize that you want to support them and have their child’s best interest in mind. Never be judgmental!

    The three things I would want most from the provider would be a safe environment, open communication, and support when needed.

    The three fears I might have would be whether my child is safe or not, whether my child is getting the individual support they need, and whether my child, and the health of my child.

    Keeping a routine simple and easy to follow is a great way to be able to maintain it. Time ranges may be more beneficial than exact times as sometimes things don’t go exactly according to plan and this is a good way to build in buffer time.

    Being friendly and professional in the discussion, along with preparing materials and topics to touch on. Making sure you know exactly what needs to be discussed with support to back it up is important. It is also important to address it in a way that is supportive and with the child’s best interest at the forefront.

  • Observation helps by allowing teachers to see how each child is developing and how they can adapt learning activities to best suit each child. Observation allows teachers to gain insight on what works and what doesn’t for each individual and where additional support may be needed.

    I don’t think young kids need screen time. While it may be a good break for the parent, the kids don’t need it in order to thrive and in some cases could hinder development.

    A good way to create a serve and return environment is through art. By looking at a child’s artwork and asking about it, we can practice serve and return.
