I'm just curious . . . How many kids are in your room? What age(es)? All typically developing or some with disabilities? Do you have an assistant or one-on-one? What kind of facility are you in (daycare, private preschool, public pre-k, Headstart, etc.)? There are: 18 kids in my room 15 four-year-olds and 3 three-year-olds (1 not potty trained) 2 with disabilities that I know of--autism and a rare syndrome that displays autistic traits I will have one assistant (not hired yet--fun :unsure and 1-3 therapists coming in I'm in a Headstart center that is also funded by my state's pre-k program I start orientation next Wednesday.
I start Wed. as well. We are a NYS funded pre-k class inside a private preschool. I have 16 four-year-olds and 1 assistant. I am not aware of any disabilities yet. I originally started with 13 children which I was so excited about, but slowly they added more and more We'll see how it goes next week. I am still really excited though
8 kids All of them just turned 3 I have one boy who shows traits of autism, but has not been diagnosed. 2 are in pull ups and the rest are potty trained completely. No Assistant I work in a church daycare
I work in a private Montessori school. I work with children ages 3-6 years old, and have myself and another teacher, and an assistant in the classroom with 24 children. I have 8 kindergartners, 10 4 yr olds and 6 3 yr olds. One of the 3 yr olds has Apraxia of speech and some language issues and gets private speech therapy twice a week. 5 of my 3 yr olds haven't started yet....they'll start next week, and 2 of them won't be 3 until the middle of October. Fun times. We also offer full day hours, even though we operate on a school schedule, so we fall under the auspices of daycare licensing regulations.
We started on Monday. I have 14 students in my Head Start class. There are 7 girls and 7 boys. 13 are 4 year-olds and 1 is a 3 year-old. There is one 4 year-old that is not potty trained. I have 5 of the 4's with very bad speech problems. We are full-day, there from 7:30 - 3:35 each day. I do have a fantastic assistant and a great student teacher for 2 days each week until October. It really is a great class and the smallest that I have had in 26 years!
I work in a private preschool. (daycare ) I have mostly 4's all who will go to kindergarten in 2009. I have 25 kids and 1 co-teacher. I was worried at first but we get along great and she wasn't one of those that tries to come in and take over.
I work in a public prek-6 school teaching early childhood special education (program is usually 50/50 with typically developing peers and verified students but this year we're almost 100% sped). Right now we range from 3-4 in age. I have a few turning 5 in November. I have two groups: AM: 6 children, 5 verified- 1 assistant PM: 5 children, all verified (more severe than AM)- 2 assistants
I work in a state funded child development program. I have 24 pre-k children that will be going to K in 2009 and 3 K's that come in, in the afternoon. We run a 1 to 8 ratio. 1 teacher and 2 aides.
I work in a church pre-school program that began on Monday. I have 14 children-8 girls and 6 boys. Most will turn 5 after the first of next year. Our hours are 9-1, M-Thurs. and I have an assistant. As of now, after 1 week, I know there are a few with speech problems and some with issues involving fine motor skills.
I work in a public school three year old program. We are funded by a Pre K Counts grant. I have 1 aide and 2 HS helpers that help (the High School is across the parking lot and they can volunteer at the elem. school during free periods). Next week I will have some PSU students starting in my room. AM 15 kids - 6 boys and 9 girls PM 12 kids - 2 boys, 10 girls Today was the first day. I am exhausted!
I have ten students- all 3 1/2. I will have them all for a full year. I do not have an assistant and I am in a private pre-school program (full day).
I teach half-day preschool - I have six 3-yr-olds Tues/Thurs and eight 4-yr-olds MWF. They're incredibly small classes and I often wish that I could have 10 just to make group activities a little more interactive.
I have 36 4 year olds. Luckily, they only come in 18 at a time. State funded UPK program housed inside a K-5 building. I have an assistant....a new one, who just got hired tonight....I meet her tomorrow. Yikes! If you want 10 for group activities, I'd be happy to send some your way.

I have 4 ESL students, 3 Hispanic and 1 Vietnamese (NO ENGLISH). I will see how it goes with them. So far, everyone is potty trained this year!! I just hope that as the year progresses, the gender numbers will stay a little more even than last year.(8 girls, 12 boys) I just barely recovered in time to start again...
I have 6 students, between the ages of almost 4 and 5. I teach in a private, no-denominational Christian school, that houses pre-k through high school.
