Wilkes Community Partnership for Children recognizes Early Childhood Teachers




 
Wilkes Community Partnership for Children recognizes Early Childhood Teachers

Wilkes Community Partnership for Children has a recognition program for child care teachers based on observations by the Partnership staff of outstanding achievement in child care. Each month a teacher is presented with a door plaque with the teacher’s name in appreciation for the dedication to the children they serve. In May, Ms. Katy Phillips was chosen as the recipient for her outstanding dedication to providing quality care to young children. Ms. Phillips is a child care teacher and PlayWorks Early Care & Learning Center. Ms. Phillips uses educational materials with the children daily to promote learning.  In her classroom, meaningful language is used throughout the day to promote literacy in the classroom.  She provides numerous incidents of intentional learning in the learning centers to increase vocabulary about different topics.  Ms. Phillips also shows the children love and attention so that they are able to create a relationship with their caregiver.  Ms. Phillips’s hard work and dedication is a reflection of the learning that goes among young children in the classroom.

Wilkes Community Partnership for Children appreciates her dedication to serving children in Wilkes County. Wilkes Community Partnership for Children, a local Smart Start agency, is a United Way funded agency.
