Happy New Year!

Dear Parents,

These past few weeks have been really fun for me.  I've had an opportunity to do one of my favorite things.  I have given over a dozen or more tours of The Children's Place.  Of course, I love to brag about what an educated and dedicated staff we have.  I enjoy talking about our age-appropriate and exciting curriculum and all of the parent involvement that makes the school so wonderful.  But my favorite part of a tour is the look of relief and gratitude on a parent's face when they first realize that they have found what they have been searching for - a special place that can partner with their family in their child's early years.

So in light of this partnership, I want to take the time to go over some of the goals we have for our children this year.

  1. Competence and Self-esteem.  Children have opportunities to explore and discover facts about their world in a manner that encourages success.

  2. Socialization.  Children learn to work within the group in a cooperative effort that encourages respect and concern for the rights of others as well as themselves.

  3. Language Development.  Children have many opportunities to formulate ideas and present them to others, building their vocabulary and understanding for the meaning of words.

  4. Physical Growth.  Through fine and gross motor activities and experiences, children enhance and refine motor abilities.

  5. Respect for individual difference.  Children are encouraged to work on a given task at her/his level of ability. 

Thanks to everyone for being a part of what truly makes The Children's Place a unique and quality school.  I am really looking forward to a wonderful 2009/2010 school year.

Sincerely,

 

Kate Wolff, Director
