1. You are a kid! Maybe you are a toddler in nursery or already in pre-school, or anywhere in between, but you are a kid who comes here more or less regularly, interacts with other kids and the teachers and the nurse and is dropped off in the morning and picked up sometime later during the day.
2. You are an adult! Maybe you are a teacher, or doing an internship, or you are a parent or older sibling picking up their kid, or the nurse or whatever an adult would do in such a place...
...of course you can change which one your muse is depending on whom they thread with.

And as for scenarios - you can of course do whatever you want, but a few ideas:
I. The first day in kindregarten. Being left behind by mommy or daddy, encountering new friends, so many things to discover...
II. Nap time! Maybe you just need to tell your friend this story before falling asleep. Or your teddy has gotten lost. And as for adults, oftentimes the parents will be present for the first few days of nursery to ease their child into things. Don't glare too many daggers at that other parents who is easing their child into the situation at the same time, you might make a child cry... Cuddling with their child is a much nicer option, yes?
III. Playground! Maybe you build a sandcastle together, or maybe you kick each others sandcastle down, who knows? Or maybe you are in the crafts room, or in the dolls corner, or you are having a class...
IV. Uh oh. Something isn't going too smoothly, and you have to mend things with another child or explain yourself to a teacher or maybe discuss a case with another staff member, or even call in the parents...
V. Field trip! Or maybe it is some holiday, or a birthday/conception day is happening in your group, or or or...

[Hi Lindir.

Have a baby Dwarf tackling your legs and trying to climb you]

[figwit]

[It's small... and hairy...a dwarf child?! He tries to get him to stop climbing gently.]

No, young one, I am not for climbing.

[kurdith]

Nooo I'm a zombie! I got to eat your brains!

[figwit]

[What in the world is a zombie?]

I... would prefer not. Please get down.

[Tries to get him off him again.]

[kurdith]

[Talk to Ori.

Kíli just clings and keeps trying to climb]

No! No no no no no!

[figwit]

[Yelp as he hits a sensitive area.]

P-please do not! You might fall!

[Tries to gently place him on the ground.]

[kurdith]

Nuh-uh! I've climbed trees!

[Nope not happening. He digs his boot into Lindir's hip]

[figwit]

I am not a tree!

[Yelp of pain.]

...Where are your parents?!

[kurdith]

Adad is dead and Amad is busy!

[Which is why he's here, duh]

[figwit]

[Hey, he doesn't do this often.]

Oh...

[Well, he's a little more tolerant after hearing that his father is dead.]

...I...you are hurting me. Please get down?

[kurdith]

But I wanna eat your brain!

[figwit]

...What if I gave you pastry instead?

[kurdith]

[He is on the floor in seconds flat, grinning]

Pastry?

[figwit]

[Phew.]

Yes, a pastry, but just a small one...

[He brushes himself off and heads to the kitchen area.]

[kurdith]

I want an apple turnover! Or two! I can eat two, I'm reaaaaaally hungry!

[lightcatcher]

[Glaring at Lindir.

Just.

Glaring at him. And then turning back to the thing under his hands.

Bitty Fëanáro is NOT going to sleep now. He's going to finish this clay monster piece of art and you're not going to stop him.]

[figwit]

[Lindir doesn't do well with glares, even tiny ones. Still, he's an adult, and he should be able to handle this...]

...It is time to rest, young one.

[lightcatcher]

No.

[Simple as that. The clay is gaining some more shape, but losing it elsewhere because he's too young to understand that his arms will be in the way if he moves his hands in a certain way.]

[figwit]

You can continue your play later. Come and wash.

[Takes a hold of his shoulder to encourage him to come with him.]

[lightcatcher]

[wow RUDE

shaking off that hand and declaring haughtily:]>/small> I'm not playing.

[figwit]

[confused.]

If you are not playing, what are you doing?

[lightcatcher]

[Wow now he's just offended. Great job, Lindir.]

I'm creating.

he is so fail at this job.

[figwit]

Then you can create more after you have rested.

[lightcatcher]

If you stop doing something and come back to it later it will be harder or impossible to pick up again where you were.

[Duh. Adults ahould know that. Have a look of all the disapproval and "u dumb" that a kindergartener can muster.]
