Dear Parents, At Peachtree, we are cognizant of what children and parents will be experiencing in their educational journey and we are committed to providing children the strongest foundation to strengthen their love of learning. For young children, these skills include and cognitive, social, emotional and physical. We want all children to love to learn. In most cases, a child’s love for learning starts with play. With experienced and dedicated teachers who are well educated in child development, we know that the children who come through the doors of Peachtree will be respected and supported as they learn and grow. It is important that the teachers foster the child’s emerging disposition toward learning. Please join us for informational coffee chats regarding specific age level programs for the 2016-2017 year. More informaiton on page 6. At these informal meetings, our staff will discuss specifics about the curriculum, developmental milestones and expectations. I hope to see everyone at Springtime at Peachtree on March 18! Miss Jane “When play, love and work are all involved, learning and development are the most effective.” David Elkind – author and child psychologist.
