1. & 2.When the previous director talked and sent the director of the new school Eric's confidential medical information and educational records the confidentiality code was broken. When the new director discussed this with her teacher she violated the confidentiality code, again. The teacher telling the parents that Eric was a biter also breaks that code. She is telling the parents that essentially they are risking taking Eric on play date, because he is a biter.
3. NO the old director should have let the mother talk to the director herself, It would build trust, and allow the parent to explain what caused the situations at hand.
4.The mother and the director should have been the one to talk in a meeting.
5.Eric should have been introduced to his classmates, and when and if the children asked him about his ears the teacher could have taken that opportunity to talk to all the children about what makes us all different.The teacher could also take the opportunity to develop a lesson plan based on accidents that some people have and what happens.
6. Introduction, allowing to show his classmates his show and tell items even if it's not sow and tell day. Having one of his classmates show him around through out the day, and letting Eric sleep with his Elmo.
7. When the teacher made comments about the other children in a public place she violated their confidentiality.
8. Although this often happens it's fine as long as the child is not labled and given a chance. What may seem like bad behavior or acting out, may just be a sign of boredom. If a child is bored they will act out.
9. Appologize to the parent for violating her confidentiality code, and hope she gives you the opportunity to talk to the teacher about the way she treated the child.
10. If I was the mom I would look for a new childcare. Although this mabe hard on Eric moving to another childcare. The next time I would include Eric in the decision making of a new Child care facilitly.

Although there may not be any children with nut allergies in the classroom, a child may have sibling who does have a severe nut allergy simply touching their sibling may cause a severe reaction. The rule in the handbook should be enforced and explained to the parent why these rules are enforced, and tell the parent they are welcome to bring anything with out nuts.
