Submission #2279

My child doesn’t necessarily need 1-on-1 attention but she does have her quirks and likes to take her time. The fact that there was a support worker there that could sit with her while she was learning to use the toilet, could stay back while she took her time getting ready, and was there to console her when something left her feeling overwhelmed is huge and has shaped my child in ways I can never express. Having another staff to stay with the children whom require a little bit more attention makes for a happier, smoother day for everyone. The kids who don’t need the extra attention, benefit as much as the ones who do. They are free to go at a steady pace because their main educator doesn’t have to take their focus from the rest of the group, to tend to one individual. I think it would be a VERY big error in judgment to take any source of funding from this group.
