Teachers Love Learning, Too!

Recently our teachers and directors went for   

a fabulous, local, learning experience;

the yearly conference for:

The Nashville Area Association For The 

Education Of Young Children (NAAEYC).

 The NAAEYC "teaches" teachers

and supports all families, teachers, and children

through programs for learning and advocacy.

NAAEYC: Our Mission...............

BECAUSE the young child speaks with a small voice, CRIES often go unheard. BECAUSE the young child has no commanding presence, NEEDS often go unseen. IN IT'S BRIEF, FRAGILE, FORMATIVE YEARS, the spirit is shaped by forces beyond its control. It is our goal to create an environment for the child that is safe without being restrictive; nurturing yet challenging...an environment allowing the freedom to become all that lies within.

WE WILL ACCOMPLISH THIS BY:

• DEVELOPING WITHIN PARENTS an awareness of the resources available for the care of their child;
• DEVELOPING WITHIN THE CHILDCARE INDUSTRY a continuing emphasis on increased quality of peronnel and programs;
• DEVELOPING WITHIN THE COMMUNITY an awareness of issues important to the quality of life of the young child and building public understanding of the importance of making quality extended care programs available to every parent.

Maybe it's because out caring teachers are cross trained

in a variety of topics from SIDS prevention to

Literacy Development to Critical Thinking 

skills and everything in between!

Maybe it's because we believe in happy, engaged children

having interesting and fulfilling experiences all day.

Maybe it's because we know that love is the foundation 

upon which all learning begins.

Maybe it's because we are really a family community

that trusts in God, enjoys each other's company 

and wants the best for everyone!

Come see why we are all smiles at Holly Tree;

We Care About Children

www.hollytreechildcare.com

At Holly Tree, children's safety, development,

and happiness are our top priorities. We want the best for not only our 

Holly Tree kids,but ALL kids! Our company, our directors, and our teachers 

have a passion for everything that  concerns young children.

Because the the National Association For The Education Of 

Young Children's "Week Of The Young Child"

 is coming up, we want to share some resources

about issues surrounding all young children. 

Child neglect, abuse, and child sexual abuse occur, and there 

are things we, as concerned adults, can do to help detect and 

care for children experiencing these unfortunate

 and unacceptable circumstances.

The CHILD ABUSE hotline number is 1-877-237-0004.

If you suspect child neglect or abuse please call. As a caller, you 

are not responsible for the "rightness or wrongness" of the situation.

You are only responsible for the reporting of your suspicion. 

The workshop listed below is free and open to the public. Please 

feel free to join us there for valuable information.
