Lauren is a very easy going girl, for the most part. Well, at school I am finding there is a lot of inconsistency for her. Like we never know which teachers are going to be in her room. Usually there is one that is the same (erin) but she was out last week. So, I have to wonder if Lauren is having an issue with not knowing what to expect. Every morning she always asks me who is going to be there. And I can't ever tell her. Her favorite teacher is Ms. Lori...who hasn't been there in a couple weeks. when I drop her off there are usually 3 teachers and when I pick her up there are usually at least 2 different teachers than when I dropped her off. I just wonder if not knowing what to expect is making it harder on her.
I am just not sure what to think or do. Any thoughts?

yesterday ds2's regular teacher was out but he didn't seem to mind the sub (i was down at lunchtime to give him eyedrops). he gets dropped off with the school cook (who is awesome and all the kids love her) and the older toddler teacher.
our kids are also really easy-going. mind you, they have been in daycare for a while - ds1 since 8 weeks old and ds2 since 3 months old. dp and i are also pretty easy-going...maybe that helps?
some kids just like consistency. i would talk to the person in charge and see if they have a schedule they can share with you. we usually get an email from our director if a teacher is going to be out so we know there will be a sub.

It takes a while to get to know children, especially those that are under 3 and not completely verbal about wants/needs/emotions, etc. It would be important to me that my child have the same caregiver/teacher everyday. Our school has two teachers - since January they've never had a sub.
I don't think that just some kids just 'like' consistency. In terms of managing behavior, all kids need it. Even if they are easy going and go with the flow. Stability & consistency create confidence and security.
If a school has floaters/subs, it should be the same people pretty consistently, and the children should know them. It sounds like your school has that, but perhaps they aren't communicating that to you or the children?
Lauren doesn't like to participate in activities with the other kids. I don't know what is going on with her!
It sounds like Lauren wants to know who's going to be with her and is a little uncertain about the unknown. But how is she once you get there?
