As a co-lead preschool teacher, I work with another teacher to support and guide our classroom. I help plan activities, teach through play, and create a safe and welcoming environment. I support children’s social-emotional growth, manage routines, and help with behavior and classroom management. I also communicate with families and make sure we follow all safety and ratio guidelines. My goal is to help every child feel cared for, included, and confident.
