• <br /> 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 /> 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 from 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 opportunity for workshops, <br /> seminars and for me to continue my psychology degree. The children will <br /> be in session Tuesday through Friday. <br /> Parents will be transporting their children to and from 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 />
