Apple Lane Child Care:
Child Care Scholarships
|
In our Pre-K classroom, we have a girl aged 5 who has struggled throughout her early childhood when it comes to reaching milestones, social emotional development and has been referred by our teachers for speech and auditory concerns. This past year her family has gone through her parents' separating and the children have two households in which they split their time with both parents.
Even though the family was experiencing a hardship, this girl has overcome many obstacles, and her confidence and articulation has been observed and noted by her SPED teachers through Austin Public Schools on her great success. |

She has the drive to learn and her confidence in speaking in front of her peers has improved so much.
The SPED teachers met with Apple Lanes Pre-K teachers and asked what are the strategies that they have implemented as they are seeing so much progress. The teachers talked through the girls' individual goals and how they use the classroom equipment and materials to help guide her as well as the other children in the classroom.
The SPED teachers observed the eagerness to learn and how the daily structure and routine offers opportunities for independence and group activities. They said to the teachers, "we need more like you." Having the education and ability to identify what each child needs to for successful experiences is so important in getting them ready for kindergarten. This 5-year-old girl who has struggled is reaching so many pre-k learning goals in the past years is set to start kindergarten this fall.
