The Leo United Methodist Preschool Staff
 

A good preschool program is determined by having a knowledgeable, caring staff. We are very proud of our staff members, who are very dedicated to early childhood education and the well-being of our students. They teach preschool, because they really enjoy and care about young children. They are well trained in Early Childhood education, holding preschool Teaching Certificates, a CDA, Associate reaching Degrees, Bachelor, or even Master degrees Education.

The director, Mrs. Richards, holds a Bachelor Degree in Education, and a Master Degree in Education, with an emphasis on Early Childhood Education. After teaching first grade in Illinois and Fort Wayne, she began to teach at the preschool level and, eventually, to direct. She is very dedicated to the welfare and education of children and loves the rewards of working with preschool children, as do all of the of the staff members.

Each year, the staff members attend workshops and/or seminars to keep up with the field of early childhood.

We feel that teachers and parents are partners in education. We encourage parent involvement in many ways. There are several parent programs throughout the year, and several options for volunteer involvement.

Parent/Teacher conferences are held once a year (twice for the Kindergarten class) or at any time the teacher and/or parents feel one would be beneficial. The director and teachers welcome open communication with parents.
