I don’t really have any tips yet, as I haven’t opened my childcare facility yet! However, I plan to make sure I have meal times and snack times covered and then go from there, as others have stated.

I think one really important area of a classroom is a cozy zone or calming corner. That way if a child needs to have some time to themself or just a little quiet reading time to become regulated again, they have the space to do that.

I find that I can get a lot of conversation going when we read books together. I am able to ask questions about what’s going on in the story and get a lot of good insights in return.

I think it’s important to have a policy that deals with late pick ups. This is not the end all be all, but it is a handy thing to point to when discussing lateness. I think bringing it up to the parent on the day that they are late and letting them know that it’s something that can’t keep happening is better to do sooner than later. That being said, I supposed it depends on why they’re late and if this is the first time or the third time.
