Wilkes Community Partnership for Children has
started a new recognition program for child care teachers based on observations
by the Partnership staff of outstanding achievement in child care. Each month a
teacher will be presented with a door plaque with the teacher’s name in
appreciation for the dedication to the children they serve. In December, Ms. Amber
Shoemake was chosen as the recipient. Ms. Shomake is the three and four year
old teacher at The Children’s Center of Wilkes.
During her recent Environmental Rating Scale Observation, an assessment
instrument for early childhood and childcare program quality, she scored a 5.97
out of a 7.00. Her hard work and deep
compassion of teaching is reflected by her score. Wilkes Community Partnership for Children
appreciates all of her hard work and dedication. Ms. Sara Caudill, Child Care
Development Specialist, presented Ms. Shomake with the door plaque. Wilkes
Community Partnership for Children, a local Smart Start agency, is a United Way
funded agency.
