• I am an assistant director at a daycare in the town I have lived in since I was in 1st grade.

    I moved away after I graduated college and moved back to CA in 2023.

    Found the job i’m currently at and started as a floater ( someone who does ten minute breaks fir the teachers in the class, also did 1 hour lunches for the teacher).

    I had the privilege of moving up to be coming an assistant director a little over a year ago and I love it.

    Every day is different. I’m on a computer answering emails, checking Power BI, excel sheets and live document. On top of that, i’m in charge of all the child files  as well as the teacher files.

    I spend my morning at the desk then.I’m usually in the classroom doing lunch works and then I come back and do my lunch and then i’m back at the computer.

    I attend meeting (usally tuesday and thursday), give school tours,attend to a child that needs assistance or a teacher can assistance.

    So i’m up for my desk very often sometimes in between emails lol.

    I tried to capture a day in my life so here it it.

    Woke up at 5am. Layed in bed till 745am. Took a shower. Out the door by 830am. Drove to work. Clocked in at 9am after talking to some teachers and checking emails. I don’t like to clock in early if I arrive 20 minutes early to work.

    So here we go! Tried to time stamps as much as possible!

    A teacher wanted coffee at like 928am so I went and got coffee. Finally was able to settle down around 10am at the computer. (photo credit: AngelicaLauraPhotography)
    Yes I work with #PowerBI and I dislike the update lol. (photo credit: AngelicaLauraPhotography)
    11am-1130am did a lunch break for my toddler teacher. 1140am-1155am computer work, check emails, check child ratios. Prepare to do another lunch break from 12pm-1pm. (photo credit: AngelicaLauraPhotography)
    12pm-1pm lunch break for a teacher. Swept the floor and the table. Got the beds out. Make the beds (this takes the longest. Each kids has a fitted crib sheet and a blanket). Did diaper and made sure kiddos went potty. Read a book and play music! Easy (: (photo credit: AngelicaLauraPhotography)
    1pm-2pm MY LUNCHTIME. I fail cause I am usually doing work, emails and what not during my lunch. Everything but eating the lunch I brought from home. (photo credit: AngelicaLauraPhotography)
