Some children arrive at childcare as soon as it opens. Too often providers have to make a special effort with these early birds because they're still waking up, a little cranky and not quite ready for the day. Children should arrive with a smile. At launch time, children make their social contacts, find toys they forgot, get a little special attention from their teacher or finish something they were making the day before.

Too often providers have to make a special effort with these early birds because they're still waking up, a little cranky and not quite ready for the day. Children should arrive with a smile. At launch time, children make their social contacts, find toys they forgot, get a little special attention from their teacher or finish something they were making the day before. Parents with a good child-first schedule can arrive first and still make it work, because early to childcare often means early home and a long stretch of time in the afternoon and evening with mom or dad. But not always.
