This has been a wonderful Week of The Young Child this year. Horatio and I just came back from a balloon release at Waverly’s Courthouse lawn. There wasn’t a huge turnout, but there were a lot more people who needed to be there than in years past (meaning parts of our local government as well as people from TEIS). Horatio had a big time, and laughed so much just watching the balloons go up.
Each balloon has a piece of paper inside of it with the Preschools name and phone number with a request to call them if it’s found. This is to help raise awareness about the need for exceptional early education for children. I know that I am thrilled to have had my children attend Small Steps Preschool. The teachers are awesome, the classes are kept small, and they do so much “out side the box” thinking and teaching that it has defiantly helped both my children excel in so many ways. (Anastasia went into kindergarten knowing how to count to 100, and that’s the goal for children leaving kindergarten. Now she’s way beyond 200 and still going.)
I salute all those teachers, preschool, and kindergarten. You ladies (and guys) do so much in to help our children grow and learn, and you don’t make nearly enough money doing it.
