We have a music teacher who comes once a week and we take several field trips a year. Our 2’s and 3’s Program In our 2’s and 3’s room we focus on helping children master self-care tasks such as toilet-training and using cups and forks as well as building social skills. We also lay the foundation for future academic learning with the basics such as the alphabet, colors, and basic math skills such as patterns and counting. Our 4’s and 5’s Program Our 4’s and 5’s program focuses on Kindergarten readiness. We cover all developmental areas including literacy, math concepts, science, social skills, music, and art all couched within a fun and interactive theme such as “Animals” or “The Beach.” Learning activities related to each of those topics are done throughout the week.

Sen. <a href="https://towson.patch.com/search?_utf8=%E2%98%83&amp;keywords=Joan+Carter+Conway" rel="nofollow">Joan Carter Conway</a> didn't like the bill to change how school board members in Baltimore County are selected and . And when the bill came up for a final vote in the Senate Thursday she refused to cast a vote on it at all. "I'm not going vote on this bill," said Conway. "I abstained on the bill. I actually disagree with the bill." "It's not about local courtesy sometimes. It's more substantive than that," said the Baltimore City Democrat who chairs the Senate Education, Health and Environmental Affairs Committee. The Senate ultimately passed the bill 34-9 with Conway not casting a vote. Conway's explanation highlighted the fact that she didn't vote at all—a technical violation of Senate rules which require each member to cast a vote on every matter on the floor unless they are excused from voting. Conway until last week over concerns that reducing the number of appointed members would reduce minority representation on the county board of education. She referred to those concerns again during her brief explanation Thursday morning, referring to the demographics of Baltimore County. "This is not a local courtesy issue," said Conway. "This is more than local courtesy."
