Assistant TO THE Director

As you may know, I recently started a new job as a preschool teacher. I LOVE IT. Seriously, it's great.

Though I interviewed for a teacher position, I was offered (and I accepted) to also be hired as the center's Assistant Director.

My sister, Valerie, recently asked me about my work as the Assistant Director. I started to explain my position when she interrupted with, "Wait, are you the Assistant Director? Or the Assistant to the Director?" Haha. Who doesn't love a good "The Office" reference? ....That's what she said.

Basically I am being trained on the duties of the director so that I can serve as her substitute for when she is out or on vacation. It's difficult to be trained right now since we just opened a little over a month ago, and there is still so much to be worked out before there will be smooth sailing, or smoother at least. I am in the classroom all day with the kids (since I am the ONLY preschool teacher until our enrollment increases). So, that doesn't leave much time to be sitting with the director, learning all her wonderful ways of running the place. But I'm picking up a few things here and there.

So I guess right now I'm more like the Assistant to the Director. But one of these days I'll know enough to truly feel like the Assistant Director. ;)
