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 July, Mitch and Tammy Spicer were selected. They are the lead teachers of the pre-k class at Safehaven child care center.  The teachers are husband and wife and have found a functional way to teach children from both perspectives.  During this year, they have begun to implement a natural playground setting which was greatly encouraged by the Division of Child Development.  The teaching team also attended a Creative Curriculum training to begin implementing throughout the center.  Creative Curriculum helps educators to create high-quality programs that meet the unique needs of the children and families they serve. The team is excited to begin another successful year at the center. 

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