Who would Terminate if this didn't improve?

Oh Sarah, how many children are in your daycare? When you have 5 children in care you have to make sure they are all doing the same thing, playing or learning or eating or napping at the same time. Yes, freeplay is very important and I include it in my program, but a 3 year old nonstop crier is not acceptable.

I have 3 children in my daycare under age 2 right now so I do circle time at the dining room table so that they are all sitting, with the little ones in their boosters. I read the stories, pull out the felt board & puppets and sing the songs as they are finishing up lunch, then I let them have some freeplay before naptime. It works fantastic for me.

I care for 5 that are not mine, I also have my own daughter and my 2 school age sons.

I never said that a routine was not important. We eat, nap at the same time. I do have a crier here. And during those times, I just let him cry!

But when one of my 2 years old doesn't want to do the craft that I planned, when he really seems more interested by the toy he was playing with, why not?
