Miss Nieves, (First Steps International Academy Teacher)
Working for Smart Beginners preschool is been the best teaching experience, thanks all for your trust and support. I am in love with the VESS curriculum and having the opportunity of sharing and impacting others with this culture of learning makes me feel lucky and proud!! Thank you very much for allowing me the opportunity to be an agent of change, I love being part of this event and I hope more opportunities to come!!
I have been a preschool teacher for over 25 years. I have used many of the Florida approved curriculums but firmly believe that the Edu1st VESS curriculum has all the tools to prepare preschoolers for a lifetime of learning. Thinking dispositions where young children are challenged and stimulated to critically, creatively and analytically think and where positive behaviors are reinforced daily is very crucial. I've worked with the "Vess curriculum" for over five years and have personally witnessed the changes in all the ages. Children showing autonomy daily, toddlers and twos are using and understanding the thinking language, three year olds are getting better at organizing their thoughts and being able to compare and contrast and the fours and fives are creatively thinking outside the box, articulating their thoughts and inquiring daily with so many questions. I am proud to be a pioneer in the Edu1st VESS program preparing children to be ready for the 21st century. I highly recommend this curriculum for any preschool worldwide.
I want to thank you for the opportunity that I have to discover how a similar curriculum like ours is applied in older kids. It's amazing how we can create a Culture that grow with the child. That's minds that our work continuing forever and the seed we plant is certainly going to grow after us. I really enjoy discovering how The Art and The Literature come so similar and get together so nicely with this Culture of Thinking I hope there will be more opportunities like these.
