A typical day at Jessica's Early Childhood Education field placement
Her favourite part of the job is getting to watch kids be kids. “I enjoy doing activities that are child-led the most. Spontaneous activities throughout the day,” says Jessica. “If some kids were at the art centre, I would go and make arts and crafts with them. Or if they were at the block centre, we would build blocks together. Just spontaneous activities with them, I enjoyed.”
