Volunteering at your childs' centre
Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:07 pm
Hi All,
I'd appreciate your input on this one, also forgive me if I've posted this one in the wrong spot.
I am wanting to send my 2 year old to 1 day a week in a LDC primarily because he is bored at home on his own and his litte brother is still a baby so can't play yet. I want him to interact with more children etc. He is a little clingy but I think he would be ok after a little while in the centre. I was wondering for my own benefit as I am studying my diploma would it be a good idea to ask to volunteer at the centre on the day my son attends? I would like the opportunity to get out of the house for a bit and do something proactive regarding my education in childcare so I thought this would be a good option.
Do you think I could approach the centre and ask to volunteer or do the centres these days tend not to want to take on parent volunteers?
Thanks in advance!
