Janet Liebl

Janet believes there is always something to do that can play a part in the children’s fundamental learning and take them beyond the standard curriculum. Janet enhances the preschool curriculum with small groups centers learning skills such, as math with manipulatives and patterns, dramatic play, circle time, cosmic yoga, silly songs throughout the day and sign language. Because Janet feels it is very important to allow the "kids to be kids," she takes them outside at every opportunity and dance parties are even incorporated into every day schedules.

In support of every child living a healthy lifestyle, Janet includes nutrition in her daily learning. The children not only discuss the benefits of nutritious foods, read books and use CACFP resources, but they are also hands-on in the kitchen, cooking and preparing for mealtime. The children learn about nutritious choices and then contribute to making their own healthy choices at mealtimes. When they find a healthy recipe they enjoy eating, Janet makes sure to share it with parents so they can eat the food at home.

Children are taught the Golden Rule and social skills. Janet works as a role model of good communication with all of the parents maintaining an open-door policy and sharing pictures of their children participating in various activities throughout the day. It is obvious that the love Janet shares with the children is reflected back as they grow into young men and women who still make time to come visit with her. Janet finds happiness most in seeing what wonderful humans the children have become and knowing she had a role to play to in their lives.
