Program Description
Details
It's that time of the year again!
Our ever-popular Babysitting Course is here!
Signups Required - online (you only need to sign up for the first day).
This free, 5-session course is open to students entering 6th grade & above. Students must attend all 5 sessions to graduate & receive their certificate.
If there is an issue, students must talk to Lucia ahead of time to make any alternate arrangements possible.
Each session will have homework assigned for the next week, including readings from an e-textbook. Students who do not have access to a computer or e-reader should tell Lucia so we can loan a print book- we have very limited copies.
- Day 1: The Basics. We will discuss expectations for the course, and cover the basics of babysitting & professionalism.
- Day 2: Emergencies. We will have first responders here to talk about their work & how to stay safe while babysitting or alone & to answer questions.
- Day 3: Ages & Stages, Part 1. We will be discussing infants and toddlers, diapering, toy safety, and more!
- Day 4: Ages & Stages, Part 2. Continuing our discussion on child development, today we'll discuss bigger kids, plus activities to keep them busy & happy, and discipline strategies. Also, enjoy a dramatic picture book reading by Lucia.
- Day 5: Review & Graduation. We will finish up the curriculum, review the course, & then have a brief graduation ceremony at 5 PM.
