EducationStaffing & Scheduling3MediumTeacher

Childcare teacher lacks consistent midday and afternoon classroom support, making it difficult to maintain scheduled breaks and manage transitions (lunch, diapers, naptime) single-handedly.

Existing scheduling methods (likely paper or verbal) fail to ensure timely, consistent coverage for breaks and critical care tasks like diapering and naptime transitions.
