Throughout the day, you'll support engaging learning and play activities, from circle time to small group interactions, while promoting social-emotional growth in a safe environment. During meal and rest times, you'll assist with snack and lunch, guiding children through bathroom breaks and helping them settle down for their rest period.

As the day wraps up, you’ll facilitate end-of-day routines, communicate with families, and reset the classroom for the following day.
