Question 2 / Concerned Provider
Dear Visitors,
I have two four year olds that I watch
in my daycare home. Lately, they have been pretending to smoke
cigarettes. At first I told them that I did not want them to
pretend that because it was bad for their health. This did not
stop the behavior so I explained that smoking is no longer allowed
inside buildings so they would have to wait until we were outside to
pretend. I am feeling guilty allowing them the opportunity to
smoke--am I doing the right thing?

Question 3 / Clueless about Hanukkah
Dear Visitors,
I am planning on doing lessons on the
three December holidays Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. I have
researched the holidays and feel that I am prepared for these lessons
but I feel I am missing an important fact about Hanukkah. I want
to know if there are special types of candles or color candles used in
the menorah and if so what is its significance? I would be truly
grateful to anyone who can answer this question.

Gameless Teacher
Dear Visitors,
I am 14 years old. I teach Sunday school
at my church to preschoolers. I have 5 boys and 2 girls in my class.
When I first decided to teach I figured we could do arts and crafts
but I soon found out that the kids really don't like those kind of
things. I was wondering if anyone knew of any games we could play.
They have to be quiet, fun, and not require a lot of space or running.
Thanks!

Curriculum Needed
Dear Visitors,
I am a certified early childhood teacher but
want to stay home with my children so I am planning to teach a
preschool in my home. I have been looking at curriculums trying
to find one that I could base off from to add to and adjust but
haven't had much luck. I plan to teach two-hour sessions two
days a week and plan on having a session for 3-year-olds and one for
4-year-olds. I would appreciate any suggestions of curriculums
to look at. I'm not particularly interested
in ones that supply all of the materials--they seem to costly.
Especially if I didn't use all of the materials.
