I agree with Momof4. The fact that you are questioning and thinking about what others may be doing and how you could improve, is a sign that you will so well! I was and still am like that...2 years in now and still constantly self-scrutinizing and finding ways to improve. I love this job and am very proud of my daycare and I know I am doing a good job as parents tell me so. But, I am ever on the quest for knowledge and new strategies, new activities, new ways of doing things that can improve my day and the childrens' days. You will learn and it will get a lot easier with time. And winter is hard! Summer will be so much easier and you will find your groove. Hang in there!
