In Early Childhood Education, students learn about the developmental stages from birth to age five, concentrating on pre-school ages. Then they apply that knowledge by volunteering at Head Start in Torrington, for eight days as teacher’s assistants. This Winterim will give students valuable insight about understanding and dealing with young children, whether preparing for a career of teaching young children or interested to learn/practice proper parenting skills for the future.

Please share your reflections on today's experience at Room-to-Grow:
For example, how was it similar to Head Start? Different? Please note any other relevant observations from today's field trip.
I really enjoyed our time today at Room to Grow. Although the kids were a little bit shy at the beginning, they eventually opened up to us. I was very impressed that many of the kids new knew to wash their hands, cough into their arms, and use tissues when needed.
The kids were very different at the Room to grow compared to Headstart. For me I felt I was able to get a bond with the kids at Headstart. The students at Room to grow were a little shy but there weren’t as many of them. They liked to do hands-on activities. They were more developed educationally. The school and classrooms and lessons were more organized.
The difference that the Room to Grow learning about weeks and month, Room to Grow learned science but Headstart learns about emotions and playing. The kids are more shy at Room to Grow but not Headstart. The similarity was that both had small class sizes. Also they both made sure that there where station with certain amount of people.
