Summary

An assistant's main responsibility is to follow the example of the Lead teacher and support her with her daily program.Typically the assistant would be responsible to assist the lead teacher in preparation for activities (getting out supplies, setting up stations, etc.) When necessary and numbers provide, the lead teacher may leave the children in your care to prepare/prep for later in the day and/or for the next day. They are to participate in circle time and when needed redirect disruptive children to the circle time activity.
