During the first five years of life, a child’s brain is growing at an amazing rate. Brenda believes there is no more important time in a child’s development than those magical preschool years. We know young children learn best when they spend time in a setting that is safe, supportive and stimulating. Brenda strives to create that kind of environment in her classroom at Linfield Pre-K. Through careful observation, she gets to know each child, then designs learning centers and activities based on their interests and skill levels. Children have opportunities to explore and practice new skills. Most importantly, children learn to relate to themselves, others and their world in ways that encourage future success both socially and academically.
