A little About the
Lovely Ladies in Headstart!
Miss Jennings. I am the classroom teacher. I have incredibly cool job of setting up the Headstart classroom to accommodate all of our little friends and to give them a safe space to problem solve, wonder, make mistakes, be silly, be serious and - of course - to learn. It is my job to take the suggestions the entire therapy team and accommodate them in our daily routines to best support our little ones in class to grow in their independence, communication, motor planning and play skills.
Ms Carol, Ms Avis and Ms Cheryl are the classroom's Extra-Ordinary Educational Assistants(EAs). These three lovely ladies are in our room every day to help our kiddos through their routines and daily activities. They greet our little ones when they arrive off the buses and make sure their time at school go as smoothly as possible!
Ms. Janet is our Speech and Language Pathologist (SLP), helping our little ones to express their ideas, thoughts and feelings a little more clearly! Her assistant is Ms. Z. She works with our kiddos under the direction of Janet.
Mrs. Chin is our Occupational Therapist (OT). She supports our kiddos growth in fine and gross motor development, regulation, self help skills and building independence!
Ms Helga is our educational psychologist (ED PHYCH). She provides support in our classrooms to change our own behaviours to better support our kiddos who experience more challenging moments. She is often our first point in making referrals to outside agencies to support our kiddos outside of school.
Ms Ginger is our Family Support Worker (FSW). She takes care of us in class as well as our kiddo's entire families outside of school.
Our Headstart program is full of opportunities for children to learn through play. We do our best to photograph their explorations and document their ideas and comments to show what they have been busy doing at school. Please feel free to check out our hallway to see what we have been busy working on!
