I can understand why the little girl would want to take her shoes and socks off, but I can also understand how that could be a great hastle for you. Who wants to tie 20 toddlers shoes after nap time? You'll probably just have to remind her not to take them off. As far as her pants if she was still in diapers I'd agree with a lot of the parents about it being really cute. I liked Gabby's response and I'd have to say I too consider a 3 year old a baby. However, since she is potty trained she needs to learn a little modesty and be told not to take her pants off in public. Just keep reminding her, and work on the mom until she sees things your way.

I would talk to her parents as it is fine that she takes off her shoes and socks but she needs to learn that she needs to keep her pants on at school. At 3 she should be able to follow simple instructions. As for the pj bottoms unless you have time for all of the class to change it is not a good idea. I taught 3-4 year olds and know you need the class to run smooth for it to work out. I hope the parents understand that this is a learning center and not a babysitting service. There is a lot that goes on during the day and your object is to teach her life lessons along with the education program. I know if I had a little girl I would not want her to think it is OK to take off her pants when she is going to sleep. There are just to many sick people out there in the world. Not in the school but you never know when she may run into someone who could take advantage of this. It is not appropriate to take off your pants away from home. Cute yes, but you are a teacher and a protector, so protect her by teaching her to keep her cloths on and Mom and Dad she needs to learn this.

LOL! I take it you don't want her to do this?
It's probably just going to take gentle persistence to get her to stop. I doubt she means to be naughty. From her viewpoint, she probably doesn't take a nap at home with shoes and socks (and perhaps pants) on, so it makes sense (and is maybe more comfortable) to take them off at school. As far as the pants go, modesty may not have kicked in yet.
Keep an eye on her, and when she goes for the shoes, say something like "Hey sweetheart, I need you to keep your shoes and socks on." or "I know you may take those off at home and that's okay, but at school we keep them on."
If she's overly argumentative, it might be worth having a chat with her parents. Something non-confrontational like "Say, I've been meaning to mention that Missy has been taking her shoes, socks, and pants off at naptime. We really need her to keep those on at school. Could you please have a talk with her?"
She sounds like a sparkplug. Best of luck!

Does she have to keep her shoes on at naptime? My daughter just started preschool and I think they lay her down with shoes on too. How odd.
i'd just talk to her and point out that all the other kids are wearing clothes (and shoes I guess) and tell her you'd like it oif she followewd the class rules.

I do the same thing.
Give her a blanket (or ask her parents to send in a large towel). She doesn't know any better, and is probably just getting comfortable. She may take a nap at home without her shoes, socks and pants and that's all she knows to do.

thats cute adorable sorry I don't have a solution. Maybe just make sure she is covered with a blanket because she is more comfortable that way. My baby takes off her socks at naptime...

lol, I wonder if that's my daughter!! Shes the exact same way. Do you like taking naps with your shoes and socks on?? It's all about comfortable. I personally can't sleep with any of those items on.

I don't see what the problem is. As long as you keep her covered with a blanket or something and as long as the parent(s) know that she is doing this.
You wouldn't want her parents to walk in and find her with all of this clothing off. Get them to sign something that says they are or were informed of the situation.

I take it you mean you are a pre-school teacher and she is one of your students. Ask her parents to dress her in pants that she cannot get off. The shoes and socks are not that big of a problem...I can't sleep with shoes and socks either, but it is not appropriate for her to be undressing around other kids...especially the boys in the class.
