These students are not counted in the teacher child ratio. However they do benefit from the experience of working along side a qualified professional teaching staff, to gain practical knowledge of how to educate young children as part of that programs academic requirement. They are coached and mentored through their learning process, developing positive teaching techniques and methods that are vital within the child care profession.
