What Does a Preschool Teacher Do Over The Summer?

Yes, technically I’m “off” over the summer. No work! I visited my family, hiked in the Rocky Mountains, panned for gold, watched the sunrise at the Jersey Shore, read tons and tons of books… and… I “worked.”
Is it really “work” when you love what you do so much, you can’t stop learning about it? I’m intrigued by the different philosophies and techniques used in the Early Childhood settings. In my explorations, I found that preschool teachers feel very passionately about “their” beliefs!
I was joking with a EC educator in Indiana (oh, I LOVE the internet) that we should start a “Balance Movement” in preschool!
While I love for children to take control of their learning, get messy, explore, and create and PLAY, I also know there’s value in learning to sit with a group, work together and respect each other.
At RHCNS children learn that there is strength in family, whether it’s their family at home or their school “family.”
I get so excited about learning something new, and can’t wait to share my enthusiasm with the children (and staff) this year! I found some new ideas, new techniques, and I can’t WAIT to get started!
We have a Parent Meeting on September 6, so contact us now and join our “family!”
