I need a very strong letter of recommendation for an employee who is applying to a PsyD program . This letter should be written in the capacity of a director of a childcare/ community service center. The employee has worked as an Helpant teacher in the childcare center but has worn many hats in the community center throughout her academic endeavors. Her responsibilities included:
-Defined business policies and procedures, including safety management protocols, to comply with state regulations; passed onsite home inspection and criminal background check.
● Met with parents to discuss business operations and child care rules; created and reviewed checklists with parents regarding allergies, emergency contacts, food preferences, and other child-specific issues.
● Developed lesson plans, prepared instructional material, reinforced learning concepts, and provided students with additional opportunities to learn the material by using different modes of teaching, such as discussions, demonstrations, quizzes, group projects, and activities.
● Participated in community-based initiatives by providing training in Microsoft Office applications, resume writing, mock interview drills, personal finance awareness, financial aid, and higher education Helpance to high school students and adults.
She worked from 2010- 2019. She started out working with the youth as a part-time volunteer for approximately five years. She was really influential in guiding them towards their career goals with jobs and applying to college. She served as a mentor and helped redirect a lot of troubled youth off the street and away from crime and illegal activities. The center is located in a high-poverty, low-income community with a very high crime rate. She was hired permanently in the role of Helpant teacher in the child care center while still working with the youth. She trained staff and young adults in different computer applications, personal finance awareness, and financial aid and helped with higher education enrollment.
She is no longer permanently staffed with us due to the closing of our facility because of covid. But she still mentors a lot of the youth from the organization.
