Wilkes Community Partnership for Children recognizes Early Childhood Teachers

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.
