This week I'm subing at a child care development centre (fancy language for daycare) for W&T. I thought it'd be a great opportunity to see the schedule in action.
I was slow at first with getting back into the swing of things and daycare is incredibly different from preschool. I knew it would be but not as much as I've been experiencing this week.
So today I finally "got it"; the flow of the day, the rules that are different, the 25 names of the children and their individual personalities. I felt like a teacher again today and it was AWESOME! I'm so glad to be working child care come September. I'm loving all of it!! What a fabulous opportunity to spend some real quality time with the children in my care. It's going to be so much fun!
I'm already not looking forward to saying goodbye tomorrow to the kids I've met this week. I got so many hugs today! And I overheard a mother tell her daughter at drop off, "you are smart, you are beautiful, you are important"! It made me grin ear to ear.
I'll be glad to have my break back come Monday. But this experience has just made me more aware of how much I love my career and how excited I am
for September and my future as a W&T teacher.
Goodnight :)
