November 30, 2009

At Kinder Care I was the Pre K teacher and program

Specialist. My classroom was filled with up to 22

ambitious 3 to 4 year olds. As lead teacher my job was to

make sure that my students were ready for kindergarten. I

followed a very direct curriculum that guided my teaching. I

combined the curriculum as well as my knowledge and training to

teach my students. Social communication, Arts and crafts,

reading, writing, verbal communication, sensory computer

music, math and much more was addressed everyday. I also

guided my assistant in daily activities. Everything that was

addressed in class was logged and reported to parents on a

daily basis. It was displayed at eye level for the children to

observe and parents. Another exciting part of my job was to make

sure that the other classrooms were creating the

same environment as we did in pre k. I evaluated every

teacher by observing their interactions with their

students. I wanted to make sure that they were using the

curriculum at its best and also using the tools and supplies

that were provided. I gave suggestions, answered questions,

and also assisted in their classrooms. I made notes to be

later used during evaluation time and reported to my

center director. I also assisted with the federal food program

for the center and was the music teacher. With this position I

was also the closing manager.
