Over the past couple of years I've had the opportunity to work with toddlers that consisted of ages 2-5 during the summer. Volunteering at Wagon Wheel School I had responsibilities such as cleaning up after them, playing with them, teaching them motor and gross skills, and making sure the environment was safe and comfortable for them. During my time volunteering at the school I also learned how to approach and become personable which allowed me to improve my communication skills to any age. I also was able to see how children behave a certain way due to the way how human develop.
