They also need to feel comfortable and safe. Atmosphere is everything: calm people, calm environment, organization, music, interaction with each other and with their teachers, etc..
You and your staff don’t seem to be good with kids. I mean for 15 days you can’t get the kids to stop crying? They’re crying because they don’t want to be there.
Suggestions: show some energy, show them you care, show creativity, talk with their parents, interact with the kids, or if you have to…. hire new and experienced staff that are great with kids. You may have to redo your entire room so that it is child friendly and appealing.
I tell you. I’m surprised that you still have any clients. Do something about your problem before you do lose all your clients.
I would give them a stuff animal to hug and cry with, saying “wow the teddy bear sure misses his mommy.” Then I would say can I hug the teddy bear to, have a big smile on my face, and say “Wow that made me feel better. Maybe I can find something else to make me smile.”
Kids will test limits so have basic rule. No hitting or you sit in the chair for 1-3 minutes (depending on age). No throwing or the chair. The naughty chair. Ignore what you can like crying after the first acknowlegement that the child is upset. Otherwise, you are supporting/feeding a negative behavior.
Have the kids color a picture for when mommy/daddy comes to get them. Put that picture on a board by the door so they can run and give mommy the hug and get the picture. Many kids are afraid their parent will never come back, especially if there is a recent divorce or separation of the parents.
Give lots of attention to those kids who are not crying, by saying, “Wow Henry you really are having fun stacking those blocks.” to show the crying child they get attention for positive behaviors.
Also ask the parent for a new child to have them bring a couple of special items, like their favorite toy or blanket. Security is a positive thing for a child.
Patience is hard but you have no choice. And remember the age of the child and how often that child has been away from the parents, i.e., baby sitter, will make a difference.
isn’t this something you should be knowledgable in before you open a day care?
