Classroom Teacher/Bus Driver
Midvale, Utah, United States
During my time with Millcreek Activity Center I acted as both a Classroom Teacher and a Bus Driver. I was in charge of observing and monitoring children's play activities as well as communicating with the parents or guardians about the daily activities, behaviors, and related issues or comments. I sanitized toys and play equipment, staying up to date with sanitization standards. Doing so by also performing housekeeping duties, such as laundry, cleaning, dish washing, changing of linens, and organizing/storing toys and materials to ensure order in activity areas. I kept records and filed accordingly regarding individual children; including daily observations and information about actives, meals served, and medications administered. I supported children's emotion and social development, encouraging understanding of others, positive self-concepts, and empathy. I identified signs of emotional or developmental concerns in children and brought them to the attention of parents or guardians. I instructed children in health and personal habits, such as eating, resting, and proper bathroom etiquette. I created developmentally appropriate lesson plans and regulated children's resting periods.
