Early Childhood Educator in Toronto, Ontario

My most recent, professional experiences were during my first placement and second placement. At my first placement, I was a student teacher at a Parenting and Family Literacy Centre for the Catholic Toronto District School Board. At my second placement, I was a student teacher at Centennials Infant and Child Centre for children with special needs. At my third placement, I was a student teacher at Hydrokids OPG Daycare. During my 2nd placement at Centennial Infant and Child Centre for children with special needs, I worked with children with various types of special needs. I worked with children with Autism, Down Syndrome, Speech and Language Delay. I also was given the opportunity to work with children with rarer forms of special needs such as Retts Syndrome, Hydrocephalus and etc. I had to follow structured routines and transitions while providing verbal and physical assistance. Moreover, I was given the chance to develop intentional learning activities based on the children’s interests and developmental levels.
