Always observe the kids’ behaviors over time and since they’re young, they probably won’t identify what their emotions are at that moment, but you can notice it and help by listening to them and being attentive.

spend so much time playing with, speaking to, and listening to the kids. but don’t be afraid to be assertive. they may get upset, and that’s okay, but they will know boundaries and what is okay or not okay if you keep being assertive with them.

make up a song about healthy habits and it will be more likely for the children to remember it and they will be more excited to do things.

abusive and non-attentive teachers are big worries I have for children’s safety. School shootings are a big thing nowadays as well too.

good components for a learning area would be something comfortable, make sure every student feels welcomed and safe in that space, learning items are accessible.

i definitely don’t think a ton of screen time is appropriate whether it is at a daycare or at home, for a child age 0-6. there are great educational videos out there for children to watch and (hopefully/maybe) learn from, but keep it a maximum 1 hour a day. i think children learn more with hands on activities and working with their peers rather than watching someone on a video do something.

If it then still happens after constant reminders, I would let the director know and ask what I should do, or if I were the director I would let them know they need to remove their child from our company.
