WELCOME TO KINDERGARTEN!

2016-2017 School YearMrs. Melissa Dorsey, Teacher

MY PHILOSOPHY ON EDUCATIONI believe that children are our future, and that how we equip the young minds of today will determine either the progression, or demise of our tomorrow. I am a firm believer that the more we nurture, and love our children the more we secure a world that encompasses the elements of peace. This in mind, I bring all of my ideals concerning peace, love, and nurturing into the classroom. In me, my parents, fellow teachers, and principal will find an educator who will strive to equip, inspire, and instill in children a resounding message of temperance. Understanding that each child is unique, I pledge to evaluate, and observe the learning style of each child, and comprise lessons with these styles in mind. I will also work to improve communication, and parent/teacher bonds with all guardians as it is imperative to do so. I will also invest in consistently providing a classroom atmosphere of safety and enrichment.
