Redmen Review

Students in Mrs. Lehrke's Human Development class took a day off from being SHS students to become employees at the Redmen Infant PIES (physical, intellectual, emotional, & social development) Daycare. Throughout the day, students cared for "infants" including feeding, changing, napping, and rocking the babies. They also had the opportunity to make phone calls to staff members pretending to be parents to discuss problems that might arise at a daycare including running out of diapers, injuries, or sickness.

Excellent childcare, problem-solving, teamwork, and good communication were all emphasized throughout the day, and students came away with a better understanding of how to provide care in a daycare setting.
