Blog 11: Mentorship 10 Hours Check

1. Where are you doing your mentorship?

I am doing my mentorship at a daycare in West Covina called Footprints Child Care Center.

2. Who is your contact?

My contact is Dr. Elizabeth A. Carr.

3. How many total hours have you done?

I have done about 75 hours, but 15 of those are for my independent component, so I have a total of 60 hours, including the hours done during the summer.

4. Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.

The daycare has a schedule that they follow everyday, so nothing much ever changes, except for the behavior and attitude of the children. I always get to Footprints at around 2 o' clock, which is when the younger kids are waking up from their naps and around the time the older kids start arriving from school. The older kids work on their homework until all the toddlers are awake, and then they all have their afternoon snacks. Once everyone finishes their homework, they can go outside and play for about and hour or two, and then go back inside to play until their parents come to pick them up. During all this time, I just aid in any way I can by setting out the snacks or making sure everyone plays fairly and no one gets hurt.

5. Email your house teacher the name of your contact and their phone number.

Emailed.
