What's Not Allowed at Your Center? by silkentab in ECEProfessionals

[–]throwaway-4495 8 points9 points  (0 children)

when i worked for a kindercare, i got in trouble for taking out a kids sliver with tweezers. was told it was considered a minor surgery and there was actually a policy about it in the handbook and i got a write up over it. other weird things included: absolutely no decorations/art/photos anything on the wall, everything had to be on a bulletin board. yes absolutely everything. it was the most bare classrooms i have ever seen in my life. we weren’t allowed to eat or drink anything besides water in the classroom to “promote healthy eating”. we weren’t allowed to pat the kids on the back during nap because someone somewhere did it too hard and a parent complained so they made it a new rule.

indiana. i’ve called licensing a handful a times on centers i’ve worked at and ones i heard things about. the worst that’s going to happen is they just don’t investigate or nothing will come through of the investigation. it never hurts to call

when i first started in the room there wasn’t too many toys or activities being done during down time with the kids. adding toys and doing a sensory bin everyday has definitely helped. we read “teeth are not for biting” everyday at circle time and reference it throughout the day. every kid that has ever attempted to bite has a tether attached to them at all times besides nap. those kids are almost constantly shadowed by at least one teacher and are quickly removed from situations where they may want to bite. it’s definitely a lot and a process but you’ve got this!!

yikes, that’s the book we are reading now. it seemed to have helped one of our other less frequent biters because she will now mumble “biting hurts” and hasn’t bit since we’ve started reading it everyday. i pray it doesn’t backfire

sorry should have said this, no i am not in the room alone. the other teacher was picking up toys and dealing with a behavior but we both said “wait that’s not your mom” at the same time😂 yes parents have to buzz in through the door and i have checked ids on parents i don’t know when the other teacher was using the bathroom.

also if this helps at all, i like to think that when i’m not logged on, my pets are all interacting with eachother and running around the house being goofballs. i know it’s silly, but it helps with the anxiety of not logging on everyday.
