Working with children gives you an insight to how individuals, not just young people, learn. It opens your mind to new experiences and you learn from others around you too.

What I liked
Everyone there was great! The kids were a pleasure to work with, and I enjoyed every day.
What I wish was different
There isn't much I would change. The only thing that was hard about being a seasonal employee was not being cleared. Not being cleared meant you could be alone with a group of kids-sometimes making the scheduling hard.
Advice
Tell them what age you'd prefer to work with. They were pretty good about putting me where I felt most comfortable.
