Hi all,

I have been offered a position at my current small private school as a toddler enrichment teacher and librarian for the whole school (12 months-8th grade). I might also be teaching art and/or SEL classes to 3 and 4 year olds (whatever fills up my schedule to make this a full time job. lol). I’ll be teaching art, STEM, and SEL (plus library) to toddlers who will be aged 12 - 35 months in September. I am looking for books or other resources to help me teach these enrichment classes in the most developmentally appropriate way possible.

Some background/possible FAQs:

I have a bachelors degree in ECE, an infant and toddler Montessori certification, and many years of experience with infants through 2nd grade. I most recently have been a lead toddler teacher for 3 years following my Montessori training.

This is an accredited Montessori school.

The classes are 30 minutes long. It could be a combination or large group and small group.

I don’t necessarily feel all these enrichment classes are necessary or beneficial, but they are going to be given regardless of whether I take this position or not, just by multiple different, less qualified people. That’s why I’m looking to approach them in the most developmentally appropriate way possible.

Thank you!

Hi all,

i just found this sub as I am looking for some advice. I am a teacher with early childhood experience and degree/certifications, so under 4th grade, but I am really most comfortable lesson planning for 1st grade and under. I am being offer offered the role of librarian at my small private school. I‘m wondering what if typically covered in library classes for elementary and middle schoolers?
