Elevating Early Childhood

Help! All My Students Want to Go to the Same Center!


Listen Later

If you’ve ever taught young children (and my bet is you have, since you’re listening to this podcast) then you’ve probably had your fair share of daily fires to put out.

I feel you, I’ve been there too. 

It’s no secret that the daily life of an early childhood educator isn’t always sunshine and roses. And sometimes, it’s just really, really hard.

One of the issues many pre-k teachers struggle with is what to do when all their students want to go to the same center at the same time!

As you know already, some centers are simply more popular than others (like the dramatic play center, for example), so it makes sense that everyone wants to participate in it.

When that’s not possible, you may have to limit the number of students in a center.

How do you do that?

Tune in now to find out!

 

Key Takeaways:

What to do when your students want to go to the same center (00:00)

What if your class only meets a few days a week? (08:10)

What to do when there are too many kids in one center (10:09)
