A Family Affair Children's Center

We have a full preschool program serving children ages two through five years old. We use creative curriculum which is a theme based, teacher created curriculum. 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. Before and After School Care We provide before and after school care for children who attend Pine Grove or Harford Hills Elementary. We are open when schools are closed. We do a variety of indoor and outdoor activities such as: ○ Table games ○ Crafts ○ Legos ○ Outdoor play We also offer homework help, a morning and afternoon snack.

If you're not an early riser you might have missed my chat this morning with Maryland Morning News anchor Bill Vanko about some issues that the Baltimore County delegation will likely face in the 2011 General Assembly session. Among those are <a href="https://towson.patch.com/search?keywords=school+board+task+force" rel="nofollow">hybrid elected-appointed school boards</a>, <a href="https://towson.patch.com/search?keywords=liquor+license" rel="nofollow">liquor licenses</a> and the <a href="https://towson.patch.com/search?keywords=liquor+license" rel="nofollow">ethics legislation for Baltimore County Revenue Authority</a>. Apparently one school board member took exception to my characterization of the board being a rubber stamp for the superintendent. I won't out the member who called the station minutes after I got off the air (because I didn't personally speak with him). What I will say is that my on air comments were about how some school advocates testified last summer that they felt the board was a rubber stamp and wanted changes that would create more of a check and balance relationship. Without further delay, <a href="http://www.wbal.com/article/85181/21/template-story/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">let's go to the tape</a>.

Looking forward to the start of the 2011 General Assembly session and a school board member takes exception to an on-air characterization.
