Arent licensed daycares required to go out? I know it's a hassle but the kids are so much better behaved if they get to run and scream for a little while each day.
I worked for a lady who's book said we go out in rain or snow every day - in actuality we were inside from Sept-April.
I felt so bad for the kids not being able to run at ages 2,3,4 for up to ten hours. Obviously the kids couldn't yell
Or run inside and we're limited in rxploring nature/seasons etc inside.
Even if it's just ten minutes, developmentally, they need exercise and I thought it was a requirement if you're licensed.
Where I worked all the parents knew though, I imagine, and didn't mind or didn't say so.
