Your lead teacher just discovered she must be out for the next month and your director is sure that you can handle this task on your own! She is hiring an assistant to help you get started! Use the NAEYC Standards to help you plan.

Your parents know you have been working in the classroom and working with the Facility. However, they don’t really “know” you.  Write a letter to your parents introducing yourself. Describe a bit about your background, your experience, and your education.

In your discussion post, include the following:

· A description of yourself (include your background, experience, and education).

· The curriculum you will be using and why. (Creative curriculum for toddlers)

· An explanation of how you will continue to encourage parents as partners.

· Share what you are most excited about for the next month.

MY DESCRIPTION:

I have worked with children for the past 20 years; I started out working at a daycare then opened my own daycare. I owned and operated my daycare for 16 years before taking a job as an early childhood teacher which I have been doing 5 years. Throughout the past 20 years I have taken several training and classes in early childhood education, and I am currently working toward my associate’s degree in early childhood education.
