Doodle Bugs! Team Tuesday: Issue #115

June 19, 2012 

In anticipation of Pre-K Graduation 2012, this edition of Team Tuesday celebrates the entire early childhood team!

Every member of the doodle community is responsible for children’s successful transition to elementary school. For taking that responsibility seriously and working hard to build a community of happy children, happy parents and happy teachers, we say THANK YOU:

  • To the incredible infant teachers, who nurture our beautiful babies and initiate the parent partnership;
  • To the terrific toddler teachers, who help our curious, independent toddlers feel comfortably ‘at home’ at school, supporting their growth and development through purposeful play;
  • To the talented preschool teachers, who create a positive classroom culture, where children are delighted to explore, experiment and create, and
  • Last, but certainly not least, to our amazing pre-kindergarten teachers, who continue to inspire creativity, curiosity and competence through hands-on-learning experiences.

As a result of your collaborative efforts – often spanned over a period of five years! – our pre-kindergarten graduates are noticeably well prepared for kindergarten and share a lifelong love of learning. Thank you for this powerful example of the many ways we can show that we CARE.
