    I have a 15 month old who likes to shriek. It is usually very random that she will just do it while watching the other kids or while standing around.
    I think she is doing it to hear her own voice and try it out.
    Thankfully she does it for only a few minutes at a time once a day or twice a day.

    I alternate approaches....I start by firmly saying "No. Stop. That hurts our ears" and give her a serious look so she sees it is not funny.

    If that doesn't work then I try and ignore it and see if she loses interest when no one engages.

    I find one or the other usually works. Sometimes she likes getting me to address her so it gets worse and then I switch to method 2 and sometimes method 1 works.

    The worst is when my three year old DCK laugh and find it funny which then makes the shrieks go on and on and i have to give a scowl and a scolding to each of the kids for encouraging her

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
