Photographer

The Photographer takes pictures of children, class events and community scenes for the children to use as a basis for creating literature and for posting in the classroom setting (i.e. on bulletin boards). As children begin to make meaningful connections between pictures and words, pictures can be used to reinforce the relationship. Children can dictate stories and make books using cut-out pictures for illustrations.

All regular volunteers will need to complete a background check, Health Statement, and have proof of MMR and tDap Immunizations that are required by Child Care Licensing and the Head Start Performance Standards!

Volunteers are critical to the success of Early Head Start. The participation of volunteers has been an effective way of mobilizing community resources to strengthen services. Volunteers can be professionals and non-professionals. Parents can become volunteers and learn more about child development training and potential employment opportunities. Volunteers can assist with classroom activities, the upkeep and renovation of the centers and the playground, and other similar tasks. Volunteers may choose to give a few hours of their time and may volunteer every week.
