I work in a highly respected, franchised Day Care Provider. I have taught in Toddler classrooms as well as Pre-Kindegarten classrooms. It's a wonderful and rewarding profession and I love every minute of it. I have become friends with many of my parents and they all ask questions which is why I want to open a dialogue here so I can be as honest and open as possible about your most prized posession's early childhood education and what really goes on in the classrooms and hallways!

Is day care basically a baby-sitting service, or are there also educational aspects to it?

Asked by All Thumbs about 12 years ago

It's a common misconception that we are glorified babysitters. There is a ton of learning that is going on starting at the very beginning in the infant classrooms. We fill the day with activities so that the kids are stimulated throughout the day and continue to learn. There's social building games, reading and writing exercises and tons of art projects to showcase their creativity. And that's just scratching the surface. There's tons of educational opportunities that are being offered in the classrooms and we as teachers take advantage of every one of them.

Question what do you think the rest of this school year (and possibly next) look like?

Do you find certain co-workers becoming particularly possessive or protective over certain kids more than others? Do they start to view certain kids as "theirs" (at least, during the day)?
