A spirit of love and concern shown by friendliness and helpfulness will fit into the framework of the goals our school has for training young children. There is a need for the custodian to understand children and their need for guidance. Younger children usually are awed by adults in the school setting and appreciate a smile and a cheery word. They usually are open to suggestions and will cooperate with attempts to be helpful. The custodian is under the supervision of the director of the school, who will consult with the Governing Health and Safety and the hiring Board at Be Above.
