Students and Volunteers The Board of Directors and the staff of Jubilee Heritage Family Resources believe that a placement for a volunteer or student is a valuable opportunity to build experience while learning about working within a child care setting. Jubilee Heritage Family Resources may have Co-op and Early Childhood Education students completing practicum or volunteers working within the centre throughout the year and will ensure that each volunteer and student is supervised by a Registered Early Childhood Educator. Students and volunteers will not be left alone with the children, their mentor will accompany them at all times. No child is supervised by a person under 18 years of age. Only employees will have direct unsupervised access to children. Volunteers and students may not be counted in the staffing ratios.
