Adding Narratives to Art Projects
When the children do an art project and you display it add a narrative. This will allow parents to see what the "process" was during the particular art project and display it with the art. This will help parents understand process versus product.
Early childhood ed is vital to the economy's future
"As we face intensifying global competition, we know that we need a strong, capable workforce to lead our businesses and create a vital economy. The most strategic investment in human capital is in early childhood, children 0-6. That's why we support and advocate for quality early childhood development."--Thomas N. Chewning, Executive Vice President and CFO, Dominion / Chair, Richmond Region Early Childhood Leadership Council

Customer Service With a Smile (had to share)
Subject: The Shepard Letter - Service with a Smile
Meet Agent Vic - Service with a Smile
My buddy at the St. Louis airport is Agent Vic, of American Airlines. Vic is a great guy who delivers what passengers hope to get; service with a smile. The other day I was on a flight to Chicago and Vic was the gate agent. He was doing what he always does, helping passengers, answering questions, pre-boarding passengers that needed a little extra help, etc.; all with a smile.
About five minutes before the plane was due to take off, all of the passengers were boarded and seated. Agent Vic came on board and enthusiastically announced, "Hi everyone!
My name is Vic. I hope it's okay if we leave five minutes early today. Is everyone okay with that? I can't hear you! Is everyone okay with that?" The passengers applauded.
"Well then," Vic said with a smile, "Thank you for flying American Airlines!"
And, speaking of smiles and friendly service, as I walk through the St. Louis airport I notice the airport employees (maintenance crew, passenger assistance personnel, etc.) greeting people, telling them to have a nice flight and just plain being nice. The "Smile Training" is paying off. It's refreshing to be treated to service with a smile.
LESSON: Yes, it takes more than smiles to deliver great customer service. Still, a smile can go a long way. The positive attitude - and the smile - is contagious.
