    I tell kids that the Velcro/ buckles point to the outside. It's really helpful when kids have shoes with pictures on them so you can say that Dora, cars etc. go on the outside so everyone can see them!

    Ditto ~ sandals, velcro and fasters cross over to the 'outside' of your foot ... and I will actually put 'stickers' on lace up shoes on the outside if there is not one ... but that said if they do not 'get' the clues right away and put them on 'wrong' I always just ask them 'do they feel good' and if they say yes ~ I do not fix them and just let them go the older they get they start to 'think' about the feel good question and look at the 'cues' given for left and right foot and if they are wrong they start to say 'no they don't feel good' and change them over on their own.
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

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.
