LENA Certified Staff
Congratulations to Ms. Eunice and Ms. Dorsey for completing LENA (Language ENvironment Analysis) Certification. This important program measures the amount of talking that takes place between teachers and students. The amount of talk with students accelerates brain growth, boosts social-emotional development, and increases kindergarten readiness. Our teachers used over 392,100 words during the 10-week study period! The students used over 11,900 words!
PAYC Garden
The PAYC garden is thriving despite the hot temperatures this summer. Our students are learning about gardening and helping to harvest all of the fresh fruits and vegetables. Corn, watermelon, tomatoes, squash, zucchini, cantaloupe and more are all going strong in the garden.
Congratulations, Graduates!
Thank you to
Impact Alamance and Alamance Partnership for Children for our new outdoor play spaces.
