Volunteers' Daily Routine

The volunteers' tasks are varied and numerous. They include: supervision, arts and crafts, music, gardening and cooking, etc.

Besides the daily routine, the volunteers are encouraged to bring in their own ideas, their own culture and as the Kindergarten is a community-based project they are expected to participate in community focused projects.

Initiative and creativity are two of the most important aspects of the volunteers' work.

Every week, the volunteer takes on one of the main roles: the Classroom assistant, the Cook or the Kitchen helper.

10:45am:
Tidy-up-time. The Classroom assistant helps the children to tidy up the classroom while the Kitchen helper lays the table together with some children. After that the Classroom assistant supervises the children washing their hands.

From 1pm to 2pm, a few children stay for lunch. One of the volunteers supervises the children and prepares for the afternoon session , the other volunteer has lunch from 1 to 2 pm.

During the afternoon, most of the children are only aged 2–3. The volunteer and the teacher play and organise suitable activities for them. The volunteer prepares a snack for the children at 3pm.
