Sunday School Teacher

January 2017 • Delano, CA

What I liked

The kids were kind and so were their parents. It’s a privilege to work with them and help prepare them before they go to school. I work with 3-7 year olds and we teach them about faith but also how to behave in a school like environment.

What I wish was different

Advice

To be patient. Some of kids that are looked after do not yet understand how a class works and that as the teacher they need to be listening to you. But they learn pretty quickly and it’s great to watch them improve.
