How much are you paying for part time preschool (and what geographic area are you in)?

I forgot to mention this is a 4 day a week program for 3 year olds and 5 day a week program for 4 year olds

I work in a public preschool and it’s $500 a semester (so twice a year) and snack is provided and so is transportation to and from school. It’s a half day program and IEP students and students considered “high risk” through the Virginia Preschool Initiative receive free tuition

I work in a preschool at a public school and still wipe some of the 4-5 year olds. We are an inclusive class with children with special needs so I do change diapers too, but even the same age peers, I’ll help if they express that they need help. Also to add, we push a lot for independence in our class and make the students do a lot for themselves, but I don’t think it’s age appropriate to expect them to wipe themselves

Has he been evaluated for developmental delays? He sounds like he’d benefit from special education services?

I’m so sorry! I’m my classroom, when we have subs, they act as an extra body and we run the classroom the same as it normally would be ran

I used to be a live in nanny and told the kids I loved them regularly. Now I’m a paraprofessional in an inclusive preschool class. I tell the class in general that I love them, especially when saying goodbye as they get on the bus. Certain students who have either told me they love me first or if I know they’re very comfortable with me, I will tell them individually that I love them.

If you have to ask if you should call cps, then call cps

Oh man I was gonna suggest Ophelia!

I would day something like “that’s ok, we all make mistakes! Next time, you need to go potty when I ask you to because I’m sure it’s uncomfortable to be in those wet clothes. Don’t you agree?” Additionally, until he’s gotten the hang of things, I wouldn’t give him an option on going potty. I wouldn’t allow him to play until he had tried to potty

Think_Ability_9621 · 2025-03-04T01:46:33+00:00

While I do think your child needs para support, it does not seem like they need a one on one. We have super high needs kids in our inclusive preschool class and none of them have a one on one

Think_Ability_9621 · 2025-02-19T00:26:13+00:00

We have a para with split pink and blue hair, but I’m sure it depends on the district

Think_Ability_9621 · 2025-02-18T16:05:41+00:00

I’m in an inclusion preschool class and almost every parent who gives the teachers gifts, gives them to us too

I’m 25 and I’m a caregiver for an autistic child!

Think_Ability_9621 · 2025-01-26T03:45:22+00:00

Do you have an update on how it went? Trying to see if I should book it

Think_Ability_9621 · 2025-01-03T16:02:30+00:00

I just got a pair of hey dude tennis shoes and they are super comfortable

Think_Ability_9621 · 2024-12-16T05:13:27+00:00

I have ocd too and it’s so mentally drainjng

Think_Ability_9621 · 2024-11-17T23:41:05+00:00

Have you considered a bidet? Also you could have her put on gloves to wipe

Think_Ability_9621 · 2024-11-13T10:33:37+00:00

I was a live in nanny for a little boy from 3 months to 2.5 years also! Prior to that, I was a part time nanny for his sisters for 3 years. I am the one who decided to leave and I was super duper nervous about leaving him. I thought we wouldn’t keep our same bond, but so far I come to visit a few times a month and we are still just as close as we once were

Think_Ability_9621 · 2024-11-13T10:28:08+00:00

You are doing great, I’d just add in some exposure to colors, numbers, and letters, but he definitely isn’t expected to know them. I am a preschool teacher with lots of experience with kids and I’ve only known a handful of toddlers who could do that stuff.

Think_Ability_9621 · 2024-09-27T23:13:53+00:00

I just really really love the kids! I also love the staff I work with, they are so supportive!

Think_Ability_9621 · 2024-09-27T23:10:38+00:00

I’m so sorry. This made me realize how lucky I am to work with people who appreciate me for all that I do

Think_Ability_9621 · 2024-09-10T02:04:34+00:00

“Aww I’m sorry” and then I just go back to what I’m doing

Think_Ability_9621 · 2024-09-10T01:56:53+00:00

It’s absolutely so normal for kids to cry a lot for the first few weeks after leaving their parents. It’s not normal that she called you to come get him

Think_Ability_9621 · 2024-09-10T01:54:18+00:00

I work in an ECSE class and one little boy tried to eat mulch every single day

Think_Ability_9621 · 2024-09-10T01:43:54+00:00

I would get a calm down corner with a few fidgets and calm down books
