I volunteered at the Lakeshore Christian Preschool where my mother works. Working with the kids in the class helped me to use some of the discipline techniques I learned in class. Using positive discipline can be a lot harder to act on rather than just to talk about. I was able to talk to many of the other preschool teachers as well as the director and talk about some of the extra activities they do within the school. Since it is a Christian preschool, they do prayer and have chapel every Wednesday. This preschool is great for the community because it is one of the cheaper preschools in Fort Mill. It also is very flexible with all parents schedules. You can drop off your child late, or pick them up early and they have many different schedules to accommodate with when parents may need extra child care help. It was super fun being able to help out with the kids, and greet the parents. I also helped make a bulletin board for my mom. This opportunity really helped me believe that I belong working with children.
