This week, the Early Learning Center celebrated School Social Worker Week, recognizing the invaluable work of our dedicated preschool social workers, Maggie and Michelle. Their unwavering commitment to the well-being of young learners helps shape a supportive and nurturing environment for children and families alike. Whether they are helping students navigate big emotions or collaborating with teachers, their impact is felt every day and we are thankful for all they do!
A few notes from staff to Maggie Donnelly:
“Maggie’s empathy and compassion make her a fantastic social worker and friend. She is always thinking of ways to support families. She is always trying to learn more and improve her practices!”
“Maggie is so sweet to take time to talk through and guide us through challenging behaviors! I truly feel her support and I’m grateful to work with her!”
“Maggie is a wealth of knowledge and helpful with ALL students. She is a great team member and we are so happy to have her here!”
Throughout the week, the Early Learning Center showed appreciation for Maggie and Michelle with lovely flowers and a small celebration in their honor. Their dedication truly embodies the spirit of care and support that makes the Early Learning Center a special place for all.
Now here's what fellow team members have to share about Michelle Mendez:
“Michelle is such a friendly person who the kids absolutely adore. She is always willing to help out and spend time with all of the children. She is the best!!”
“Michelle is always positive and her enthusiasm for her job is evident in her interactions with others.”
“Michelle - Thank you for being so flexible. I see you going where the kids take you, being adaptive, open-minded and going with the flow. Thank you for staying calm during moments of difficulty, trying to stay adaptable, trying to improvise, and for being so accommodating. THANK YOU!!!”
Thank you, Maggie and Michelle, for your hard work and dedication to our preschool community!
