Perhaps you can recall your first day as a new student or employee in a child care center. How did you feel on that first day? 

What else do you wish you had known about the center or the program? 

Do you recall what it was like not to know where the extra paper towels were kept or how awkward it was when you could not find the easel paper? 

As you recall those feelings, consider what you would tell a new hire in your center if you were responsible for orienting the new employees. Provide details.
