Small daycare space

[playfelt]

You also need to remind parents about the times you are not in the space in that it is deceiving thinking they are there all day. They nap for 2 hours, eat lunch in the bright open kitchen, go outside to run around, etc. When they play also remind the parents that keeping the space smaller encourages the children to settle at an activity long enough to learn from the play since it discourages them from just running around being silly. There are times I move furniture for that reason to keep them more contained.
