Her commendations include a nomination for a Governor’s Award for Excellence in Early Childhood Education, presented by former Governor Minner.
Over the course of her years in the business, Erin has crafted a curriculum with proven results. Children who complete her program are fully prepared for kindergarten. They leave with an understanding of shapes, colors, early math concepts (size, sorting, patterning, etc), numbers 1-50, and the entire alphabet. They build fine and gross motor skills. They also develop self help skills, socialization skills, and learn to take responsibility for their actions on an age-appropriate level.
Mark Goldberg was introduced to the preschool world in June of 2009. He holds a master’s degree in education. Although his background involved working with older students, he immediately realized what an amazing age group preschoolers are and how rewarding it is to work with them. The children in his care didn’t just get a great caregiver, but someone with whom they could learn and grow. Mr. G. quickly became known for sharing puzzles with the children. He also got a reputation as a great story reader in the library center. Mr. G. loves all forms of physical activity, especially outdoor play. Mr. G. became a favorite with parents, too; receiving numerous compliments on his ability to calm and reassure homesick little ones.
