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...

[Elves are very tall people, more than papa, Alice is starting to realize. She is a bit frightened as she is intrigued. After all, adults can be frightening, especially ones a child doesn't know. She's been caught! It doesn't take much to get Alice's attention, apparently, but it doesn't alleviate the deer-in-headlights expression.]

I'm going to go home.

[She says it so matter of fact, without hesitation. Alice may be curious, but she's always been notoriously self-conscious around other children.]

I simply don't like it here! I want to go back with my sister.

There are people here child who would worry over your departure. Do you wish to upset them so?

[He crouches down so that he is more at a level with her, because looming over her might seem intimidating.]

[Just a little; he's fairly intimidating to begin with. Alice, on the other hand, puffs up. She becomes a little indignant.]

But I don't want to be here all day!

[No, she's a big kid, she won't let water works start up.]

I don't want to be away from my family! They'll forget about me!
