Doreen is the head teacher of our Toddler II room. She has been with Executive Baby since 1998. Before Doreen began her career with us, she gained 10 years of experience working in the Union City Public School System. Doreen feels her philosophy for learning is best stated in the poem below.

PLAY TODAY

You say you love your children and are concerned they learn today?
So am I-that’s why I’m providing a variety of kinds of play.
You’re asking me the value of blocks and other such play?
Your children are solving problems; they will use that skill everyday.
You’re asking what’s the value of having your children play?
Your daughter is creating a tower; she may be a builder someday.
You’re saying you don’t want your son to play in that “sissy” way?
He’s learning to cuddle a doll; he may be a father someday.
You’re questioning the interest centers; they just look like useless play.
Your children are making choices; they’ll be on their own someday.
You’re worried your children aren’t learning and later they’ll have to pay?

They’re learning a pattern for learning; for they’ll be learners
always.
