From
1999-2002*, we worked
closely with Smart Start, a government funded
program.
"In keeping with the overall goals of Smart Start, The
Creature Teacher, Inc. an Enrichment Program grantee, contributes to the efforts in
increasing the level of quality care children aged 3-5 years in organized care in Forsyth
County. Specifically, this program enhances the cognitive, language, physical, and
social-emotional development of children through a variety of activities that focus on
animal science. Early childhood professionals benefit as well by participating in The
Creature Teacher's program. Learning how to integrate science-based curriculum activities
in a developmentally appropriate manner helps early childhood professionals to maintain a
higher quality classroom which in turn contributes to the maintenance of a higher star
rating license for the child care program."
Jennifer Beaumont, Enrichment coordinator for
Forsyth County Smart Start
*Unfortunately, due to government cuts,
the enrichment programs offered by Smart Start were discontinued.
