  • Developed, implemented, and evaluated a completely new education program for the preschool room I set up a new learning environment, which included a permanent indoor water/sand table, a home corner, a construction and an art and craft station
  • The children became very comfortable with the new environment to the point that they “owned it” and functioned within these areas independently which boosted their self-esteem and confidence level
  • It was also a positive and a successful team building experience because we could compare our thoughts on which activities would most likely engage and be enjoyed by the children, with those of the children.
