Having heard recent rumours of increased burgulry in our area we've started to consider taking some home security measures.

Our first consideration has been to install security doors. My brother has his own security doors ireland company so Ive had a chance to pick his brains so ill share those with you in good time but for now this is all I have time to write. Ill keep you posted.


Having working and managed in Creches Dublin for many years Ive encountered and observed many interesting traits and challenegs within minding mixed-age groups of children which Ive choosen to highlight in the article. Many caregivers with Montessori's in Dublin or Child Care Nurseries Dublin will share similar points of view so I hope you find it useful.

Challenges


When taking care of a gang of mixed age children the caregiver will need to takeadditional safety precautions in the incidence of infants or toddlers in care. Other challenges include the provision of appropriate snack items that happen to be correct for all age groups.

Preparing organised activities is difficult when you come across kids with an assortment of ability levels and interests. Daily routines including nap or meal times probably need to be far more flexible to cater for various aged kids. Often you can encounter older children resenting the younger children in a play team.
