Hello! My name is Cindy Glover and on behalf of Expert Village.com, I am going to talk
about visiting a classroom before deciding on choosing a licensed childcare center. You
will want to look for the fire evacuation plan and storm evacuation plan. You should
get a good feel of the dynamics of this environment after 1 to 2 hours to see how busy your child
is during the day, how many transitions he is required to go through and are they transitioning
from one activity to another in a smooth way. One way that a teacher can help a transition
run smoothly is through songs. Songs are made up. For example, when it is time for the children
to clean the classroom, put toys away, put books away, the teacher may start a little
chant and the children come familiar with that and they know that it is time to clean
up in a friendly and positive manner.
