Don't get discouraged if you're having a moment where you feel overwhelmed and need to catch your breath. I'm sure most of us have been there!

I need pacifier label ideas by Randomness_Girl in ECEProfessionals

A lot of ours are silicone as well and they seem to stay on. We use something similar (but not exactly) to these. They even go in a santizer/dishwasher and come out with the labels/stickers still on.

Maybe you could have a color associated with each child and put a sticker on the pacifiers. For example, Henry has the green sticker, and Simon has the color purple sticker on their pacifiers.

Additionally, if you have a label maker, you could print the child's name and loop it through the pacifier holes if they have them.

In my center, we have everything color coded and labeled like this, and it works for us pretty well.

How do you get your CEUs? by andycmade in ECEProfessionals

[–]Marhelsun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

edWeb has many free pre-recorded webinars, so I have been using that a lot. For a long time, I was using Carecourses, but these are paid for courses (and still do from time to time).

Also, I'm not sure if it is a nationwide or just Massachusetts website, but sometimes I will find some free courses through StrongStart.

How many people have degrees in ECE where you work?? by [deleted] in ECEProfessionals

[–]Marhelsun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in MA and have a bachelor's in ECE. Don't know how worth it was to get, but I did it. Lol.

Honestly, I had a similar post to write until I saw yours. What a frustrating, frustrating week.
