Appropriate Child- Teacher Interactions

Bradley Russle 2

I was recently talking with a Dad of an infant, while he was enrolling his infant in my Child Care center. The Dad asked me the following question: “Do you think it is appropriate for teachers to kiss a child?”

I immediately thought to myself, that is inappropriate behavior in a child care setting. Then I replied: ” No that is not appropriate and I believe that kisses should be saved for mommy, daddy and grandparents.

However, I do believe that caregivers naturally bond with children and it is appropriate to show that you care for a child by giving the child a gentle hug, using a nurturing tone a voice or by  gently rubbing a child’s back that is having difficulty sleeping at nap time.

I shared this post with you to inspire you to be mindful of the child-staff interactions in your Child Care program.  Furthermore, what we (Child Care providers) may think is appropriate; may not be appropriate to a parent.

Also, be sure that you define appropriate Child- Teacher interactions in your classroom handbook or program policies.

Your Dream Will Come True (Get Focused)

Your Dream Will Come True (Get Focused)

On October 1, 2014, my husband and I signed the lease on our Dream Location!

That was an exciting day for the both of us! In fact, that was the day that I realized that I am finally moving in the Direction of my dreams and I could hardly believe that we were sitting at the table with the children of the man who built our new location over 20 years ago.

While we were signing the lease, the Owners of the building revealed to us why they chose us and they said this: “We chose you because we loved the name Learning Days and we also love the fact that your husband (who happens to be a contractor) will help you maintain the building.”

I shared this with you to let you know that, your name speaks volumes about your Business! Also, be sure that you have an assigned maintenance person when negotiating a lease or even buying a building.  Read the entire eNewsletter now!
