I see almost all of them in my Pre-k classroom everyday. Recess is super important to them so not only should you not take it away, it is super important to make sure to have a back-up plan for the days that are wet or too cold for outside.

While students at the pre-k level need both academic and social skills, they should never be referred to as babies…. young yes, babies no. If you want them to act like babies then call them such. If you want “big boys and girls” treat them that way.

Because I was becoming concern based information for his daycare that there may be a “problem” . And after reading this I am a little at ease now, because all the areas that is cover here are the areas of concerns according to his daycere.

Now what I see is that the teachers tolerance level is nothing compared to the “old lady” teachers back when I was a child. And I think now the teachers are expecting a little too much from these babies.

The ones that has no clue of what society is or how one is to act as apart of society. As a three year old first time been introduced to daycare, its social skills as well as acamdemic (basic ) skills is what they should be presented with.
