Summer at the Children's Center
During the summer of 2015 I got the opportunity to volunteer as a classroom aid at the Children's Center in the Therapeutic Preschool. The volunteer is given a paper which tells them the following responsibilities "Interacts with children individually during play times and outdoor activities. Supervises children during outdoor play. Reads books, plays games, helps children with puzzles and helps with group activities. Models good behavior for children and encourages children to develop positive relationships with adults and other children. Works with group therapists to help children be successful in daily activities. Preparation, clean¬up, other. Helps to prepare and clean up after activities. Helps children with coats, snowsuits, paint shirts, etc. Gets supplies for therapists." Although I wasn't able to work there for the entire summer due to other responsibilities, I was so grateful for the opportunity to work with psychologists, specialists, and kids in the Mental Health field.
