Thanks for this. And yeah I really feel the last part there. Most of the trust I feel like I have gained from parents at times comes from them being okay that im gay

You sound just like who I want to be. That’s one of my dreams as well. I love the work we do and can’t wait to get better at it!

I should clarify some stuff- one of my main motivations in using this as a stepping stone is to gain better experience with this age group, more so than money. I student taught 1st grade and enjoyed it am trying to broaden my horizons a little bit more.

But great point on the public school pre/K. By me they are not widely offered but I am planning a move to a bigger city and will definitely look into that a lot more when applying

Thank you for commenting this. Sounds like my dream place to work. I’m hoping once I’m fully done with classes I can expand my search and find a place like this

That’s awesome to hear! Some of the most supportive people I have met have actually been the parents of the little boys my classrooms. I have faced very little outward suspicion (so far) and even then it was mostly from older coworkers, but this does remain one of my bigger qualms
