- Complete frequent headcounts and maintain active supervision at all times.
- Develop and implement developmentally appropriate, play-based learning experiences.
- Use positive guidance and age-appropriate behavior-management strategies.
- Communicate professionally and consistently with families about their child's day.
- Work cooperatively with co-teachers, administration, and other classrooms.
