What is the Early Childcare Assistant's responsibility regarding the child's school environment?

The Early Childcare Assistant plays a vital role in supporting the educational setting created by the teacher. Following the direction of the teacher in setting up activities is essential as it ensures that all activities align with the established educational goals and objectives of the classroom. This collaboration promotes a cohesive learning environment where the assistant complements the teacher’s lesson plans and contributes positively to the overall classroom dynamics.

By adhering to the teacher's guidance, the assistant helps maintain consistency in the classroom routines and activities tailored to the needs and developmental stages of the children. This approach fosters a supportive atmosphere where children learn effectively and feel secure, as they are receiving coherent messages about expectations and learning opportunities from both the teacher and the assistant.
