“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.”

Parents are entrusting us to take care of the person they most care about, their child! That is a lot of trust they have in us! You have an incredibly important role and are acting in place of the parent while the child is in our care. 

Remember that you are the adult and must be viewed as a professional. It will be important for you to build strong, trusting relationships with the children and their families. Have fun with the kids but also remember to create boundaries for them. 

You are a role model! Children look up to adults and want to be like them. Be mindful of your attitude, clothing, language, and most of all, your leadership. "Children are great imitators, so give them something great to imitate."
