Aussie Childcare Network Forum

Hi Everyone!

I was just wondering if anyone could help me.

I did my first placement at a child care centre and it was a really bad experience. Staff weren't really helpful and I felt like I was in their way and didn't really get any feedback until my last week when they told me I was doing really well...
It made me really unsure of myself and if I wanted to continue in childcare.

I'm a bit nervous about my second placement and was wondering if anyone knows about any one I the clayfield, nundah, wooloowin, wavell heights area. I am happy to travel a bit further, these are the most local to me that's all,
I just want somewhere where they are friendly and are willing to help me and teach me.

I would appreciate any help

I'd be upfront with the next Centre you are placed with. Explain that your let experience wasn't the best and what you'd like them to do for you while you are there on experience.
I'm sure by creating an open and honest dialogue and a Director worth their salt will make sure you feel welcome.
