I am a substitute teacher/administrative support staff member at Ivybrook Academy, a Montessori and Reggio-inspired half-day preschool. While helping launch this new facility, from July 2017 until June, I worked with the lead toddlers and young twos educator to create a warm and inviting classroom where children could explore and begin to expand their minds while also learning how to behave at school and interact with their peers. My responsibilities included planning and executing weekly lessons in the classroom as well as in the children’s outside classroom and gymnasium time.
