We are viewed as an excellent choice for volunteers and students on placement by the local secondary schools, community colleges and other community agencies. We take pride in the relationships we have with the community and what we have accomplished together.
Together Volunteers and Students on Placement have the opportunity to assist in contributing to Mini-Skool’s reputation in ‘quality child care’ by working directly with the children and our staff while gaining valuable experience in a child care environment. Our work atmosphere at Mini-Skool is ‘fun, learning and laughter’. We feel confident that those who join our team will be provided with an experience that they will cherish and never forget.
