“Thanks for Being Goofy and Giggly”: Families Show Appreciation for YWCA Teachers

This week, we are celebrating 2019 National Teacher Appreciation Week. Our amazing Early Childhood Education teachers play an incredibly important role in educating children and setting them up for success throughout their lives. We are extremely thankful for their dedication, skills and passion for teaching young children!The families at YWCA Children’s Centers got into the spirit of the week by writing notes to show their appreciation. Check out some of the love they had to share below.

Letting Me Do Free Play

"Dear Kyle, Thank you for keeping me safe and letting me do free play. I am going to go to Kindergarten."

A YWCA parent had more to say about Kyle: "Our son, Noah, has been going to child care at YWCA since he was 20 months old. He is five years old now. He's had some wonderful and very exceptional teachers during his time here. No other teacher has spent more time with Noah than Kyle. Since our first experience with Kyle, we noticed his patience and quickness to build rapport both with Noah and us. We believe that Noah truly benefited from having his preschool experience shaped by a great teacher. We will be forever grateful for having had Kyle as one of his first teachers in life."
