While serving as a part-time Education Coordinator in my hometown arts center I developed, managed, and often taught educational arts programming for children ages 3 - 13. I volunteered and taught at this arts center for a total of 2 years before being promoted to Education Coordinator, gaining experience with a wide range of students and backgrounds. Throughout that time I also babysat two toddlers and an infant at least one evening a week. We often visited parks, pools, the zoo, and other fun spots in the area. When we couldn't go out, I often brought over art projects, simple toys, and an occasional educational television shows on DVD to their home. Three kids was quite a handful, but they each had wonderful personalities and made each session special. Most recently, I have begun work for Kids SmART Inc., a childcare program in Lakewood providing before/after/summer school activities for children Read more grades K - 6. I work Mondays through Fridays between 7am - 6pm. Even with the everyday challenges presented by working with large groups of young kids, my passion for providing them with safe and welcoming environments to have fun and connect with others only grows.
