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.
Competence and Self-esteem. Children have
opportunities to explore and discover facts about their world in a manner
that encourages success.
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.
Language Development. Children have many
opportunities to formulate ideas and present them to others, building their
vocabulary and understanding for the meaning of words.
Physical Growth. Through fine and gross
motor activities and experiences, children enhance and refine motor
abilities.
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 |
