Light of Christ Kids Club
After School Program (2-1/2 years)
- Responsibilities in this program included:
- Building relationships with students between the ages of 3 (preschool) and 11 (5th grade)
- Tutoring upper elementary students while they were completing their homework
- Addressing difficult behaviors and social disputes as they happened and communicating with parents about these when necessary
- When my supervisor had to take a 6 week leave due to a medical issue, I became the contact person for the school I was at. This included managerial tasks such as making coworker schedules and dealing with any sudden absences or quarantines that came up. It also included being the messenger, or bridge, between my coworkers that I worked every day with and the supervisors that worked with my supervisor.
- Through this experience I learned how to work alongside a variety of coworkers and coordinate to find the best solution for the students as problems arise.
Summer Program (3 Months)
- Responsibilities in this program included:
- Creating, managing, and implementing a daily schedule for 12 five and six years old
- Planning and leading activities, play
- Making sure all needs (from giving children attention, to helping children share) were met within the day
- Through this experience I got a great glimpse at what it takes to manage and set up a PreK classroom, be a full time caregiver, and build long lasting relationships with young learners.
