"I teach kindergarten for those moments when you see the light bulb turn on in a child and for their enthusiasm when they first learn to read."

Janice McKee

"I have told my students and parents that it is like watching the egg of the caterpillar hatch and eat and then (go into) hiding for a short time. Then all of a sudden the butterfly appears. Of course this is in the spring just like the kids. Between December and March is their hiding time. Then out of the blue the child has grown a whole year in knowledge."

Kristin Smith

"I look forward to a new and unexpected challenge everyday! Those young, excited, eager minds keep me on my toes!"

Beth Enderle

"I work with kindergarteners because they have an endless amount of energy, a natural curiosity about everything and such a strong sense of wonder. They constantly remind me to slow down and take notice of the smallest, simplest things in our daily lives."

Lyn Danielson

"Where else can I go to work and be feeling tired and overworked and someone tells me I’m beautiful and that I’m the best teacher they’ve ever had!"
