Assistant Teacher
CurrentAs an Assistant Teacher I’m responsible for creating an atmosphere that is positive for learning and that stimulates critical thinking, problem solving and decision-making with children. We learn alongside our children, for example: we teach them words or phrases in sign language starting in the Infant room (my current room, 6 weeks-12 months old). We are responsible for introducing them to anything that will stimulate their senses, help them on their journey to sitting on their own, rolling, crawling, and eventually walking. We’re also responsible for providing the best care to not just our babies, but their parents as well. We connect daily with the parents, telling them about their baby’s accomplishments or where we believe the baby needs a bit more encouragement whether it be social emotional or physical.
