Happy September y'all! I cannot believe that we are about to enter in to the best month of the year, October! This year we decided that we wanted to come up with a way to truly honor some of our educators that consistently go above and beyond. We came together and created what is now called "Spotlight Educator!" This educator is one of those people that anyone can go to at any time. She has the biggest heart, she is a wonderful listener, and show compassion and kindness towards every single person she meets. This quarter, our Spotlight Educator is Mrs. Katherine! We could not be more proud to have Katherine as our very first SE. She is the absolute best when it comes to teaching. Mrs. Katherine is our Preschool Three lead educator, and has been with us for just over two years. PS3 is so very lucky to have Mrs. Katherine. Our educators were asked to give us some reasons as to why the love Mrs. Katherine, and how she inspires them in different ways. Every educator spoke so highly of Katherine. They told us about how kind she is. We had a few of our new staff members mention that they could go to Mrs. Katherine with what some may consider a "silly" question, and she will answer the question with kindness! Mrs. Katherine truly empowers other educators here at AOFC. She never misses or calls out of work, her dedication to her job is powerful, and you will never find her without a huge smile on her face. These littles and their parents are always telling us how much they love Katherine, and how thankful they are to have her teaching their kiddos. We love Mrs. Katherine so much, and we are the L U C K I E S T to have her!
Below is a further explanation of what a Spotlight Educator looks like, and all of the special things that they will get to do and receive :)
In order for one of our Educators to receive this honor they must be employed with us for at least one year, have consistent positive feedback from our families and exemplary parent/child relationships, they are always willing to go above and beyond to help their fellow Educators, and are a promoter of positive staff morale.
This quarter we are honoring, Ms. Katherine, our Preschool 3 Lead Educator! Ms. Katherine is an inspiration to me because she brings a contagious, happy vibe to our work place. I admire her because she is always supporting other Educators and offering a hand, even if she has a lot to accomplish herself. Ms. Katherine always takes initiative to get tasks completed outside of her classroom and offers so much support for our newer Educators. I often use Ms. Katherine's routine/classroom as an example when training new Educators. Our program is lucky to have her as a part of our family:) We are so proud of you, Ms. Katherine!
