You are a teacher in an area that has frequent snow. One afternoon there in a blizzard and the town's only snowplow breaks down. There is only one road to your early childhood education environment center. It will be at least 24 hours until you can get out or parents can get in. How will you handle this? Include what you have done to prepare parents, children, and your center to handle a survival

mode type of emergency.

What will be an ideal response?


Both children and parents have been prepared in advance for the possibility of this problem in your early childhood education environment. Parents know that you will contact them by cell phone if possible, and you will have a cell phone they can contact, also. Children will have "emergency" kits in their cubbies that will have pictures of their families and notes that families have written that tell children how much they care for them. Your center is prepared with emergency rations, extra blankets, and other supplies. You personally will remain calm and collected because you have prepared in advance.
