  • Facilitate curriculum development during afternoon hours, collaborating with teachers to enhance learning experiences.
  • Communicate with families through a monthly bulletin, showcasing art projects and learning outcomes.

Researchers – Exploring knowledge to share with young learners.
Documenters – Capturing and revisiting children’s work to inspire future learning.
