Buddings Training & Experience Internship
We’re really excited to let you know about a cool new program that we’re going to be participating with this Fall – the Daycare Training & Experience Internship. This is a 4-month program where up to 3 participants will learn all they need to know to work in a flexible occasional daycare – namely Buddings. 🙂
The program is funded through the government funded Targeted Skills Shortage Program, and is part of the Provincial mandate to support childcare in BC. We’re thrilled to be involved, and have already received a few great applications.
The program runs from Sept. 4 to Dec. 21, 2012, and participants will take a wide variety of training – from First Aid and safety, to Soothing Anxiety, Guidance Techniques, and Developing Communication Skills, all the way through to Making Puppets Part of the Curriculum and Adapting Technology to Daycare Needs. It’s going to be a info- and fun-filled season!
They will also be putting in an average of 12 hours per week at Buddings, starting out in an observatory role and, over the months as their skills improve, potentially taking an active role in organizing and supervising activities, and caring for children. As always, the care of your kids is our top priority, and we will keep you posted on their progress. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to call or email us.
