Good, Caring Teachers are a Constant Joy This spring, I have had the privilege to observe "Miss Amy" and "Miss Cheryl," teachers of the full-day kindergarten at Good Day Preschool and Kindergarten in Milltown. Because of my daughter's work schedule, I sometimes pick up my granddaughter after kindergarten. While Cheryl miraculously gets 16 youngsters organized to come home, Amy bounces out the door to tell waiting parents what the children learned that day, to preview the next day, and to describe the homework. I'm always impressed with the obvious level of planning that goes into each day's activities; and Amy exudes enthusiasm for teaching and love for the children even though she must be exhausted after working all day with 5 and 6-year-olds! Throughout the year, these two teachers have developed a special bond with each child. I've watched Amy meet my granddaughter's individual needs, from giving her a special hairdo, to assuaging her disappointment that her mother wasn't present for a school activity, to searching after school with her for a charm that had fallen off the child's necklace. Amy has been in close contact with my daughter to provide whatever my granddaughter needed to make her school year a happy and productive one. I Both teachers extend this level of special attention to each child; and the youngsters love these two extraordinary women. How fortunate children are as they begin their lifetime
journeys of learning to have excellent teachers like Amy Bitalla and Cheryl
Sommer!
Testimonials
Yesterday was Katy’s big kid party. You would have been so proud of you
entire Kindergarten class and a few from Patty’s class. I had more people
comment on how well behaved, fun, polite and loving the boy’s and girls were
from YOUR class. It warms my heart that a big piece of you is very much
present even when you aren’t around! You should be proud-I was! Katy and
her classmates are sooo lucky to have you! YOU ARE THE BEST!
When parents were asked to list things that they liked about our program, some of the responses were as follows:
“Highly educational, good interaction between children’s classes.
Excellent flexibility for increase/decrease of hours on short notice.
Reasonable fees, very close location to my house. All staff is nice! Keep
up the good work!”
“For a parent to have the ability to bring their kids to a school were they
are cared for, nurtured, taught, respected, able to be more confident,
praised and have boundaries is a blessing from God - That’s what Good Day has
been for me and my kids! |
