💕 Sometimes school is about so much more than ABCs and 123s! 💕

It’s about building relationships, making connections, creating memories, and showing our little learners that they are loved and valued! 🥰

Today, we want to give TWO special shoutouts to ladies who remind us that sometimes the biggest lessons happen outside of a lesson plan!

💄 Ms. Williams, our Instructional Coach, took a little one-on-one time with a student and even let her help do her makeup! Sometimes a little eyeshadow and a lot of laughter are just what it takes to build a special bond! 💕

👏 Ms. McNeely, our Family Service Worker, never hesitates to jump in when a teacher needs an extra set of hands. Whether it’s her job or not, she’s always willing to step up and lend a helping hand!

Because at Head Start, we don’t just teach little minds… we build relationships, nurture little hearts, and make a BIG difference in little lives! ❤️

Thank you, ladies, for reminding us that relationships come first, and the learning follows! 🍎✨
