JENNY DUMANDAN

Experienced early childhood educator with 7 years of dedication to child development and learning. Recognized for friendliness, adaptability, and expertise in child and youth programming. Proficient in activity planning, behavior management, and communication to foster positive and nurturing environments. Exceptional team player adept at adapting to evolving needs and achieving results through collaboration and reliability.

As a CYP Assistant, I work directly with children and youth, ensuring they remain engaged, well cared for, and safe throughout their participation in the program. I am responsible for helping children develop essential social skills, including making friends and resolving conflicts while promoting healthy choices—selecting nutritious snacks or appropriate recreational activities. Additionally, I foster self-help and school readiness skills, encouraging children to explore their environment confidently.

I proactively implement activities and special events that comprehensively address children and youth's physical, social, emotional, and cognitive needs. I ensure that parents' special instructions are followed, seamlessly integrating dietary restrictions and specific physical needs into each child's experience.

With a strong commitment to approved child guidance and youth development techniques, I effectively maintain control over the group and prioritize the safety of all participants. I expertly supervise children and youth during indoor and outdoor activities, including walking field trips and special events.

Furthermore, I diligently ensure compliance with all applicable laws, policies, and regulations governing Department of Defense Child and Youth (DOD CY) programs. I proactively alert my supervisor to health, fire, or safety compliance concerns, demonstrating my commitment to providing everyone with a secure and nurturing environment.
