I really enjoy working here because it gives me the opportunity to work with kids. I am a CAD major so getting real experience before graduating is really awesome

What I liked
I love the nurturing environment and warm welcome from all the students, staff, and families. The support and encouragement from my co-workers and administrators allowed me to do my best, while learning new techniques and skills for teaching, which is my passion!

I wish I had more confidence when stepping into the new and unfamiliar classrooms. It took a while to get used to it, but in the end, I am grateful for the amazing experience to teach and further my skills as an early childhood educator.

Being an assistant is great and for someone who may not know what age group they want to work with, its a great starter position to find out what your passionate in.

Daycare Teacher
September 2018 • Midvale, UT
What I liked
I enjoy working with the children to help them learn and grow in ways that are developmentally appropriate for their age. I also really enjoy watching them explore the world on their own.
What I wish was different
I wish that I could use my degree a little more. I'm a communicative disorders and deaf education major and there aren't many (if any) opportunities for me to use my skills.
Advice
Be yourself! Everyone has a unique perspective and way of doing things. You'll bring something to the children that no one else can.
