  • Observe and assess progress, adapting teaching to meet individual needs
  • Build strong, trusting relationships with each child
  • Foster curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving
  • Promote positive behavior and help children learn how to express emotions in healthy ways

    You’re stepping into a role that is both challenging and deeply meaningful. You’re helping children get ready for school—and for life. Your patience, skill, and passion help ensure that every child has a fair chance to succeed.
