Ronda Bailey
I am a certified teacher with 30 years of experience. My undergraduate degree is in Elementary Education and I have a Masters in Literacy Intervention. I am also certified in Early Childhood and English Language Acquisition.
My program is structured similar to a classroom setting, with a set schedule, including gross-motor play, instruction of the Brightwheel and Creative Curriculum, free-choice centers, read-alouds, and rest time.
I have been teaching for 30 years and love helping children reach their full potential. I have a Masters in Literacy Intervention and am also certified in Elementary Education, Early Childhood Education, and English Language Acquisition. My passion is early literacy and I am certified in the Orton-Gillingham and Science of Reading programs.
My Philosophy and Goals
My philosophy is to provide a loving, happy, educational, and secure environment for children. I strive to enrich each child with a love of learning, a positive self-image, and a sense of creativity. I also strive to promote mutual respect between the parent/guardian, the child, and me. To accomplish these goals, I will work to:
- Provide a nurturing atmosphere to promote a child's creativity and positive self-image. I intend to create and maintain a socially and emotionally respectful early learning and care environment.
- Cultivate positive child, provider, and family relationships by offering opportunities for families to get to know one another, to offer events to promote education of parents/guardians in the program, and opportunities I provide for their child.
- Provide the children with many different educational, developmentally activities, and play centers for the children to enjoy and explore.
- Provide positive methods of discipline to reinforce the strengths of the children and to help develop a respect for others. I try to develop age-appropriate limits to help the children gain a sense of independence and responsibility.
- Be available to parents/guardians for the purpose of daily communication. My doors are always open.
