DIRECTOR MONDAY

Greetings!!

Happy last day of summer, bittersweet tho it may be - fall's my favorite season and I think we're in for a terrific colorful display!

This weekend I was in good company with Drea, Hollie and Leslie - we all attended a full day conference in Marietta, sponsored by COAD. I learned about Infant Physical Development and Credentials for all staff; Hollie and Drea attended the "math toolkit" for ideas and activities; and Leslie completed two focus sessions on Cultural Diversity and Cognitive Development. We all came away feeling like we are really on the cutting edge of early childhood education - Sycamore Run truly is a unique center!

This school year is off to a good (if quiet) start - the building looks so terrific, and the kids are all excited about the new arrangements. We look forward to seeing more new faces coming in the door - tell your friends how happy you are with our services!
