Re: Question about working at a daycare

By:

I'm working at my daughter's daycare and it's going pretty
well. I'm teaching Kindergarten. I worked out a very flexible
schedule with the director and get a discount. It's wonderful
to know my daughter is downstairs. However, I really miss the
school setting. Since it's a daycare I don't have alot of
parental involvement and there's not alot of opportunity for
professional development. I don't see myself there long term
and hope to return to a "real school" in the future.
