Joy, Hope, and Gratitude

April 22, 2025
By Nicole McDowell, Director

Happy Easter!

I pray that each of you had a wonderful Easter weekend. I know that our early learners had a blast last week at our annual egg hunt, but I was even more proud to hear our students share what they learned about Easter this past month. One of our KPrep students even shared with me, “Easter is about God's love for us, and Jesus died for us to show that love.” Wow! So, as we settle back into our daily routines after a wonderful Easter weekend, I pray that you continue to live in the joy and hope that this holiday brings.

If you have been to our early learning center, whether you’ve been here for a long time or you’ve just started, you know who Ms. Paula, Ms. Wendy, and Ms. Crystal are. Our amazing front desk staff and campus enrollment manager are the keepers of the pulse of the entire center and spark joy from the moment you walk through our doors. It's our front office staff who are always there with a tissue when a child's feelings are hurt, a calm voice when someone is upset, and a sympathetic ear when families or teachers are stressed.

I feel so blessed to work alongside this supremely competent team. Our center has nearly 180 early learning students, and I know firsthand that this team plays an important role in helping our families and our team each and every day.

So here is a big thank-you to Ms. Paula, Ms. Wendy, and Ms. Crystal for their hard work, continuous creativity, and commitment not only to our center but also to the families we serve every day. We are so grateful for you! Thank you all for being our frontline and lifting us up when we are down.

I encourage you all to take a moment to say a quick thank-you this week to these amazing ladies! Happy National Administrative and After-School Professionals Week!
