Why I teach at Hesston
I teach at Hesston College because I enjoy the daily contacts and interactions I have with the students involved in the ECE Lab Preschool program. I am involved with educating college students but not in a classroom setting. I teach and direct in the Early Childhood Lab Preschool on campus. The students are gaining knowledge and background in their Early Childhood courses and then bringing that knowledge into the lab to get the "hands-on" experience with the preschool children. It's a wonderful way to educate future teachers, by having the education coursework piece and lab experience merge together. I find great satisfaction in helping college students gain skills and confidence by working with and teaching young children.
