“I have been volunteering weekly at the Rochester Child Care Center for approximately 10 years. I read to the 4 and 5 year old children and chat with the youngsters from the “Fireflies” group. I read children’s books that they have, bring in additional books, and chat with the children. The group instructors are great to deal with and are well respected by the children. I do take July and August off, but enjoy going back in September and reading to a brand, new group. The children GROW SO MUCH socially, in the year I read to them, and are wonderful to deal with. I am very proud to be a reader to these children, and they surely teach me a lot!”
