Congrats to a few of our own own! We'd like to congratulate Holly, transitioning to a leadership role as Director, and Olivia, stepping into a Lead Teacher position! We are grateful that, "BIG Success Starts Small" includes Empowering Educators, to continue to grow in the Early Childhood field at Laker Prep!

Today we celebrate the heart of our center; our incredible teachers, aides, support staff, and executive team! 💐

On this Child Care Provider Appreciation Day, we want to recognize the compassion, patience, dedication, and love our staff pours into every child and family we serve. Your work goes far beyond the classroom. You create safe spaces, build confidence, encourage growth, wipe tears, celebrate milestones, and make a lasting difference every single day.

As a small token of our gratitude, our Board of Directors gifted each staff member a bouquet of flowers, and our executive team put together goodies for our amazing teachers, aides, and support staff. We hope you feel as appreciated as you truly are!

Thank you for all you do for our center, our families, and especially our children. We are so grateful for each and every one of you. ❤️
