Rules & Regs
NONE
I'm struggling with a child in my classroom and I need to meet with the parents. Can you set that up for me?
No, unless it's a conversation that requires admins presence that is something you need to facilitate.
I'm running 10 minutes late, should I even bother saying anything?
Yes please :) Walking in 10 minutes late without saying anything does not suffice. We love an ETA!
A parent approaches you asking questions about their child moving classrooms / age groups, what should you do?
Please direct them to admin
When is it developmentally appropriate for children ages 0-5 to be placed in time-out while in our care?
Never! What you can do is require them to take a body break if their behavior is unsafe to themselves or to others (whether that's in the classroom or in the office), but no children can be intentionally left out due to bad or unwanted behavior.
1. Soap & water
2. Sanitize
3. Disinfect
I'm not going to be in today, should I just text whoever's opening?
No :( Please text us BOTH regardless of who's day it is to open/close.
A parent needs to meet with me, when should I tell them I'm available?
During nap time please! This will allow us to have enough coverage in your classroom while you meet with a family :)
Do the kids need to take their water bottles outside with them?
Yes please! Licensing requires that children have access to water at all times. When the water fountain outside is working, this is not necessary. Until then, please either carry the buckets their waters are kept in when you go outside, or have the children carry their water bottles outside on their own.
I have a something going on next month and I need time off, when should I put in the request?
As soon as you know you will need the time off
I need to schedule an appointment and they said they have an opening tomorrow. Should I just book it?
No :( Any time off request requires at least 2 weeks in advance. Do not book appointments or vacations without checking that you're okay to have that time off.
