Demo Class for Nursery

by Dua Hashmi

Apr 2, 2012

I have taken an interview at a nursery for a job placement as a nursery teacher. I have been asked to take a demo lesson for half an hour in the toddlers class (age group 12 months - 24 months) I have also been asked to take a demo class for the older age group in the nursery (24 months - 36 months). Kindly suggest activities that I can do in my de...See More

EddyEdward Good afternoon everyone! Frankly speaking, I rarely met good nannies when I was looking for daycares for my child, and we very often moved from city to city and changed kindergartens. So I know what I'm talking about. At the moment, we are very lucky with the place where we live, as there is a Little Scholars daycare center nearby, which is one of ...See More

milaniask Is this a question from the nanny or the caregiver? I think you'll have to figure it out in person when you start practicing. Of course, this is not an easy job.

Of course, this may not be easy. Children are very capricious and complex, but this does not mean that you should treat them like animals. They are small and defenseless people, very naive. They require attention and care, so when I was looking for my child's kindergarten brooklyn I found https://littlescholarsnyc.com/, despite the fact that I took...See More

Teachers that yell

by MyVavies

Jan 13, 2017

I just got hired at a daycare as my first daycare job. There are two teachers I work with as a Teachers assistant. Both teachers yell at the children to get them to listen. It works, but I don't feel comfortable yelling at the children. What do I do? They don't listen unless you yell. I don't know if it Because my way doesn't work, or because the t...See More

It could happen if the other workers or your director held a meeting and outlined a new behavior management system. I use total transformation and it works well. But everyone needs to be on the same page. It is tragic because these kids live what they learn. So if you are yelling at them to communicate then that will be what they do when they grow into adulthood. Now is the time to change.

I don't think that it is needed to yell at children. Everything could be solved without yelling.

Home daycare

by TRS

Nov 12, 2014

I am currently teaching in public school and have been for 15 years. To make a long story short, I am burned out to say the least. I plan on resigning at the end of this school year. I love children and want to continue to work with them. I have thought about working in a daycare or possibly started my own home daycare. If I do my own, I will only ...See More

billius Thank you very much. I also find a lot of interesting ideas on Pinterest. But my daughter is in the greatest Kindergarten Brooklyn now - https://littlescholarsnyc.com/ . I will explain why I call it great. It can seem like I advertise that place, but no. I just want to tell you how my kid enjoys the daycare she goes to. First of all, I am very than...See More

Starting a daycare out of your own home

by Jessica Jones

Jun 7, 2017

Has anybody else done this? If so, please share your thoughts!

I had never considered this before, but I just came across an organization called Koala Kids that helps you get licensed and trained so that you can start and run a daycare out of your own home. For those interested, the information that I came across can be found here (https:...See More

In my opinion, that is much better to take you child to the professional center that will give him really great education. Often competent pecialists know better what your child needs. Of course, you should control this process, but not play the main role in this. This is just my toughts.

I agree. I was trying to educate my kid by myself, but it seems not as effective as with a specialist. My son does not take me seriously. I am not his teacher, I am his Mum. Of course, we play educational games and just spend a good time together, but as for preschool preparation - we have chosen one of the preschools Brooklyn - https://littleschol...See More
