When you put your chid into a preschool or day care, not everyone will have degrees and have master's degrees as licensed therapists. It has a lifetime impact.Ī: We have over 50 staff members, full- and part-time, and they’re all professionals, which is unique. It builds empathy with children, it teaches them even though we’re different, we’re all the same. I can’t tell you how many kids and families who've gone through our program, that they want to go into education or therapy. Q: In that integrated learning, do you find that creates a sense of empathy among classmates?Ī: Absolutely. We opened up another location with that on Wolf Road - that’s more of a traditional preschool where the classrooms are 2.5 hours in the morning. We created Bizzy Bees, a really cool program, and we invited the community in on it to experience this equipment. It helped build the awareness you want, visually and physically. What I found personally was that the children really responded well to sensory input and sensory stimulation. We started a sensory center - we still do it to a certain degree. Our goal is to find places to be innovative.
The agency has been blossoming since then. Then we added on the kindergarten program (at Spotted Zebra). When my children were kindergarten age, I felt they needed one more year to be solid to enter public school. By the fall of 2006, we had three classrooms up and running with 14 children in each. In 2006, I decided I wanted to be here, this is where my heart was. Q: I'm a twin, so I can relate to a parent trying to find care for two kids at the same time.Ī: In the first class, we had five sets of twins and a set of triplets. and then transitions to a child care service who may not be familiar with them, or may not be using the protocols or techniques to bring out the best of them. Even to this day, before- and after-care when children are approved for specialized care is hard to find. Q: In a sense, starting Spotted Zebra was inspired by your own children, correct?Ī: Like every person, I had the dream for my kids going to a typical preschool and having that typical experience.
