I walked into the toddler room after a couple of months as we start to come back to the normal routine. I was scared and nervous at the same time, that I’m going to set up the toddler environment during this pandemic. I had a lot of questions in my mind knowing the fact that it would be hard for them to follow this new normal. I start off with 3 toddlers in my room which was kind of easier for me. I had 2 toddlers, 33 months old, and one toddler 20 months old. So setting up the guidelines was not that hard. The work tables are set up in a way that they are 6 feet apart with their own rug.

She g ives you  a smile and ask s  you to find a spot and sit down. You know your parents  won’t  be there with you and  that  you're the only person dealing with  this new experience .  Just  thinking about the first day  of  school brings back the anxiety  you felt   at  that time.  On  Nov ember  6, 2016, I remembered  my first day of  school ,  not as a student but as an a
