Hi everyone! I'm in the process of looking for work placement and have a few questions. First, there are several Montessori centres in my area. Is it okay to ask them if I can volunteer there for my work placement, despite not having Montessori training? I wasn't sure if they took on staff/volunteers without a Montessori background.
Second, I've been babysitting in my area regularly for the last two years, and as such I know a smattering of children in some of the closer centres--some I know quite well, and have even picked them up from the centres before. Are there any issues with this when applying to centres? I know I wouldn't play favourites, but would the administration think I might? Should I avoid applying to centres where I know a few of the kids?
Would love your input.
Thanks!
