Summary

I am currently working for NEMCSA as a classroom aide in a GSRP preschool classroom. I do all of the classroom aide duties, but also take on the roll of the lead teacher at times too. I am close to completing my degree for an Associates of Arts in Early Childhood Education. Due to my education, I have been given the opportunity to lead the classroom often and get feedback from the lead teacher in the classroom.
