Substitute Classroom Aide
Part-Time

Duties & Responsibilities: The duties of a preschool teacher's assistant includes interacting with children, preparing snacks, teaching children about numbers, colors and shapes, helping them get dressed and changing their diapers when needed.

Supervision
Preschool aides ensure the safety of all children under their care. This means supervising children in the classroom, on the playground or in public on school outings. Supervision includes knowing where all children are and insuring that they are safe, and stopping any unsafe activity, which is of particular importance with preschool-age children. Aides may also be called upon to help children if they are injured, and to take appropriate actions to protect the students in the event of an emergency.
 
Personal Care
A preschool teacher's aide may help children with any personal care needs. These may include using the bathroom, hand-washing, feeding or assisting in serving meals, and changing clothes. When children need help with such tasks, teachers and aides should allow the preschool child to do as much as possible independently, and teach her the skills. For younger preschool children, teacher's aides may change diapers or assist in potty training, accompanying children to the bathroom.
 
Non-Instructional Duties
Preschool teacher's aides are often responsible for clerical duties in the classroom, such as filling out incident reports, working on bulletin boards or displays, duplicating, laminating or otherwise preparing instructional materials. Where aides take over such duties, it allows teachers more time for preparing lessons and instructing students. In a preschool setting, teacher's aides may also have some basic cleaning duties, such as disinfecting toys and equipment or cleaning up areas after mealtimes or snacks.
 
Instructional Duties
Teacher's aides are often responsible for working with students in small groups after the teacher has given instruction.

After School Day Care Aide

JobID: 302

Position Type:
  Support Staff/Afterschool Care


Date Posted:
  1/25/2024


Location:
  St. Joan of Arc School


  Additional Information:  Show/Hide
Job Description
Extended Day Care Aide
Part-Time (negotiable)
School: St. Joan of Arc School
City & State: Hummelstown, PA

Payroll Grade: 11                                                                                            FLSA Status:  Non-Exempt

Hours and days are negotiable. Will provide CPR and training. 

Nature of Position:
The typical school day does not compute to an adult's typical workday. To fill in the gap of time, some working parents choose to send their kids to an extended school day care program headed by a team of care providers. As the job title implies, their first job is to take care of kids, which can include several different activities.

Playtime
After school is over, school-age kids are usually ready for a little rest, relaxation, and fun. One of the main duties of after-school care attendants is planning and supervising activities for kids. This can mean fun play such as arts and crafts or activities that focus on skills in sports, music, or dance. Children in after-school care spend a lot of time outside the home and away from parents, so it's important that during these activities attendants keep a close eye on the kids, watching out for any behavioral or emotional issues they may need to discuss with parents.

Snacks
Most kids like to eat and they're typically pretty hungry after a long day at school. As such, after-school care providers are often responsible for planning and serving snacks and meals for kids. They may need to prepare food and drinks, clean dishes, and put away food. Depending on the environment, providers may also be responsible for getting the kids to help serve and clean up after eating.

Schoolwork
Some after-care settings are located in schools, and some after-care attendants double as tutors or educational helpers. They may coordinate with teachers to provide additional support for kids outside the classroom, helping with reading, math, or other subjects. In other settings, after-school attendants may simply ensure that kids get their homework done.

Safety
As the responsible adults in the room, after-school attendants need to be able to respond to basic emergencies and to look out for children's welfare while in their care. Care attendants are often trained in CPR and basic first aid, which may be required upon hiring or for licensing. Care providers need to be apprised of state laws on child safety procedures and creating a safe environment for children. If kids need to take medications, the care providers also need to know the protocols involved and know how to respond to a health emergency.

Logistics
Taking care of children's needs is an after-care attendant's first duty -- but she often has other logistical aspects to her job. Attendants may be responsible for setting up and breaking down the care space, especially when the after-care program takes place in a school gym, cafeteria, or other space used for different purposes during the day. They may also be responsible for writing daily, weekly, or monthly reports of children's behaviors and habits, and communicating that information to parents and educators. Some attendants also keep track of payments and help schedule the right amount of staff for the number of kids attending the program.

Reports to: Director of Extended Day Care Program

Qualifications
• Must be at least 21 years old.
• Must have a high school diploma or equivalent.
• Must be willing to obtain state and federal background checks and take required trainings for clearances.
• Must be willing to respect the Catholic Church's teachings on morality.
