When I was in high school I took child development and early childhood education classes. In my child development classes I learned how children develop from the womb to adulthood. I also learned important lessons on first aid and CPR on children ages 2-6. In my early childhood educations classes I was responsible for teaching and taking care of children ages 3-4. I would create projects for them to do depending on their age, each catering to their abilities. I would help them with play time, reading, and arts and crafts.
