Summary
Right now,times may seem a bit different. However,that shouldn't stop the way that teachers teach. Knowing from personal experience that children need us now more than ever. Therefore, a energetic, dedicated and enthusiastic person like myself with over four years of experience with a sparkle of calmness,joy,and laughter will fit perfectly into the role as next Preschool teacher or Camp Counselor. Bringing profound childcare techniques, problem solving, and to help develop play activities for all children in relation to their age. In-addition, build a strong report with parents, grandparents,and caregivers to encourage them to take part in their child's growing . Do believe that learning and play are inextricably linked. Sensory play is key.
