    BTW - speaking of leading by example I would not have a conversation of this magnitude while I was still in charge of other children ... I know it is challenging since we often 'work alone' however if I need to 'talk' to a client at pick up time I always arrange for my spouse to be home early to supervise the children and I have any conversation with the client AWAY from the program and out of ear shot of the clients children and other children...if my spouse cannot come home early for me than I make arrangements with the client to either meet for coffee or talk over the phone depending on the severity of the conversation needing to be head ... I know that I can manage my own emotions during conflict however just do not want the children exposed to any 'raw emotion' from an adult that I cannot control
    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."

    Yeah I was thinking of this over the day. I don't have back-up today. Perhaps we'll I have the kids outside for pick up and we can have the conversation out of earshot of the kids.

A few tips...

If you encounter a daycare provider with out-of-date openings / spaces, click on the button right above the currently listed openings to report it!
