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...

[ Maglor's a bit of a strange kid, easily distracted by anything bright and shiny, but especially by sound and music - he's forever humming and wandering off to listen to the birds or the water or the wind. He isn't usually bullied, his status sees to that, but he doesn't have many friends either, and his parents are grateful for Glorfindel's knack of engaging him anyway. He's wandered off again, vanished in the middle of the day - Glorfindel will find him sitting by the fountain, humming a counterpoint to the splashing water ]

[There was a bit of a panic when Maglor was found to be missing again, but ever calm, Glorfindel offered to hunt him down. It wasn't much to check a few places that he'd been drawn to before, finding him in the third or fourth place he looked. Rather than disturbing him, he takes a seat beside him at the edge of the fountain, slipping his boots off so he can rest his feet in the cool water.]

[ Maglor looks up and smiles when he realises he has company ]

Hello Lord Glorfindel! [ and then the smile drops off ] Am I... in trouble again? I didn't mean to wander off...

You're not in trouble, little one. [Glorfindel's smile is soft and reassuring.] We just wanted to make sure you were safe. Did you get distracted by Ulmo's music again?

Mmhmm [ Maglor splashes a little ]

There was a whole family of birds and I was listening to them. They had a new song! I was going to come in after, promise! But there was a rainbow in the fountain and I got distracted by the music, sorry.

[Glorfindel splashes too as he thinks.] Next time will you tell me so I can listen too? [He's not a musician himself, but he can still appreciate it, and that way he can try and keep an eye on the elfling. He'll have to try and keep a closer eye on Maglor as well.]

[ he tips his head to look up at Glorfindel through his bangs shyly ]

You...Aren't mad? Atto and amme always tell me not to wander off but there's so much music its hard not to. I do try to remember to tell people before I go but it's hard yo remember.

They tell you not to wander off because they're worried that you might get hurt. They're not mad at you either, even if it seems that way some times. [He tucks Maglor's hair behind his ears so he can see him properly, smiling softly.] You'll end up like my friend Ecthelion, always walking into water following the music.

I know. [ Maglor ducks his head and fidgets shyly ] I don't like it when they're mad though, and I do try to remember.

[ He lights up at that ]

Oh! Does he get in trouble for it too?
