Early Childhood Educator in Wallaceburg, Ontario

My most recent experience was as a Teaching Assistant in the Toddler 1 classroom of a Montessori School in Guelph On. I loved with position and the opportunity to mentor at a Montessori institution. All of our lessons and routines were Montessori based while I provided the up-to-date ECE requirements for the classroom. I developed and implemented lesson plans under the Montessori spectrum unique to each individual child\'s needs. I assisted with personal care routines and classroom routines. I completed appropriate assessments when required and made referrals to services such as OT and speech. \r\nI have also held the position of a Program Coordinator for Neighbourhood Groups in the City of Guelph. This meant working with the City of Guelph in conjunction with volunteer committees in neighbourhoods deemed \'in need\'. My responsibilities included providing before and after school programming, developing and implementing a summer camp program, assisting with community outreach through the food shelf and community kitchen. \r\n\r\nI have provided programming for children, before and after school programs that were social, recreational and intellectually based. Much of my experience with children focused around children with special needs and mental health. I provided both personal care as well as developmental programming to assist with life skills and social development. I also worked with programs to provide inclusion programming for these children. I have worked in both a social setting as well as in-home care.
