Summary
In my previous roles as a Lead Teacher, I gained a solid foundation in not only Preschool Education but Early Child Education as well. I developed and implemented age-appropriate lesson plans, ensuring that each child received a well-rounded education. I also facilitated various activities that helped promote cognitive, physical, and emotional development. I believe these experiences have equipped me with a better understanding of child development and the ability to create engaging learning experiences for young children.
