I've been teaching for the Head Start Program/ECSE in Elk River for the <br />past nine years. My education and experience is in Early Childhood. <br /> <br />My plans are to open and operate a private preschool, A Creative Child. I <br />will be licensed through the State of MN under Rule 3 requirements. A <br />Creative Child - Preschool will be located in the Boys and Girls Club of Elk <br />River. I will be servicing children fi.om three to five years old. My hours of <br />operation will be from 8:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. <br />with children. I will be licensed to take a maximum of 20 children per <br />session. My goal is to keep class size to 15- 17 children per session. I will <br />hire a co-teacher to work with me. The children will be in the building and <br />in session according to the Elk River District schedule. I will follow the <br />District calendar. I will not have children on Monday's as that will be a <br />teacher curriculum planning day and also leave oppommity for workshops, <br />seminars and for me to continue my psychology degree. The children will <br />be in session Tuesday through Friday. <br /> <br />Parents will be transporting their children to and fi'om school everyday. I <br />have no plans at this point to start a bus service. My goal is to serve the <br />community with a high quality program for the children and families, <br />emphasizing on creativity, arts and music. Family participation and <br />involvement will be strongly encouraged along with great emphasis on self- <br />esteem and socialization. I will have an individual curriculum plan and <br />goals set by teacher/parent communication to meet individual children's <br />needs. <br /> <br />The location and the classroom offer ample amount of space as well as a <br />safe environment for the children. The building itself is tucked away off the <br />main roads and offers easy and safe access to the families I will serve. <br /> <br />The facility itself offers everything Rule 3 requires for operation, including <br />many other rich contributing factors. The Boys and Girls Club of Elk River <br />has a gym, a kitchen, a lunch room, computer lab, library, bathrooms right <br />next to my classroom, running water in my classroom and an outside <br />playground. <br /> <br />I will not be serving meals at this point. I will serve an a.m. snack and a <br />p.m. snack as a part of my daily schedule. By utilizing this facility, it will <br />help keep capital cost and operational cost at an affordable rate which will <br /> <br /> <br />
