We would also join with the preschool classroom often, and those children were around 3 to 4 years of age. I would also work as a floater teacher when I needed to sub for a teacher who was out, that is when I would work in every classroom (working with kids anywhere from 6 weeks to 5 years old). Later on, I was promoted to a Head Teaching position where I worked in the infant room. There I was in charge of infants between the ages of 6 weeks to one year of age. I worked in the infant room from June 2019 to January 2020.
