First and foremost, I want to thank the daycare that accepted my internship and allowed me to experience firsthand the intricate responsibility it is to be a childcare professional. The support I received from the owner and director and also the other fellow professionals was more than I could’ve wished for. Their suggestions were not only helpful, but also very insightful and applicable to what activities I had to plan and take part in. The parents were also very friendly and were definitely willing to work with me whether in the daycare setting or when I paid home visits.
The field of child education and care is a tough one to be a professional in, and it will get even tougher with all the budget cuts that are being done across the nation as a result of the recession. Now, with even more imminent adversity, colleagues in this field need to band together and be supportive of one another. Together, working as one, we can succeed in making the most of our limited resources that ultimately aren’t for our own benefit but for the benefit of the young ones, who are our future and should be protected at all costs
