Daycare job

  I'm a special ed teacher in a preschool, my DD is in the toddler room as a typical peer.  It's great but at the start I did a lot of hall dodging.  She had a hard time seeing me in the halls and not going with me.  She's been there a year and now it's NBD.  I love that I'm friends with who is taking care of her and I'm in a position to voice my concerns about some things and they get taken care of right away.  It also let's me work up to the last minute when I need to and not have to factor in commute to get her.  Daycare closes at 5:30, I can work till 5:25 on days I need to and still get her on time.  I also had a lot of say on where she moves up to at three and got to choose the teacher I thought would be the best fit and have been working with her current teacher to help best place the three (DD and her two BFF's) as the will all move at the same time.  We are keeping two together and I'm taking one.  We think it will be the best situation for everyone.  Good luck with your new job.

  I took a year off from my elementary teaching job and worked at my church mdo program. She did great but I had to adjust a bit to having someone else care for her. That did get easier, as I saw how much they loved on her. The best part was being close enough to check on her anytime I needed to, it put my mind more at ease. For lunch/snack containers, we use the IKEA ones with green lids. Comes with the perfect sizes.

  We use oxo tot containers and they work great. I also have a pb kids lunch bag I love but if your LO has bottles it's prob too small.

  I run the daycare my daughter goes to. The biggest thing for me is if she sees me saying hi and then saying I'll see you in a little bit and walking away without making a big deal about it. If you let it be a huge thing and hang around it will be harder for her when she sees you. No thoughts on food containers my LO eats the daycare lunch.

  
  

  I have a Daughter born 2/26/2013. She is pretty much amazing!
