I have 5 baby nephews and I used to pick 2 of them up from their infant care. When I reached earlier than my mother (I’m sadly not the guardian haha) I sit outside the gate and I always see the teachers kissing/smelling the babies head. Personally, I feel that as long as never kiss the face is okay. (Head/hair/hands are alright) you can think of it this way: the teacher dotes and show affection for your baby, hence baby is in good hands. Ofc, if you mind then just reach out politely and inform that you are not comfortable.
well technically that shouldn't happen. I'm an early years educator of ten years and I always restrain myself because we have seen cases of viral/bacterial infections no matter how adorable the kiddos are. u might want to bring it up to the teachers and principal if needed and hopefully they will respect ur wishes and be more aware.
not suppose to I will tell teacher I don't like even now I'm not comfortable when seeing most teacher not wearing mask at class
i will not be happy if that happened to my baby no matter how cute & adorable the baby is, teacher should know the boundary
