My overall goal and destination for my passion is to own and successfully operate my own Christian Early Childhood Academy. BJU Press has included some very explicit instructions and operative outlines to follow that will enable this dream of mine to come true.
A good foundation: prayer, planning, and preparation
One year before opening: conduct research, make a bibliography, establish a written philosophy, decide it the school is going to be church-ran, or school board-ran, visit several Christian schools, collect copies of handbooks, manuals, and procedures
Eight to ten months before: prepare tentative budget, project number of students/staff and tuition/salaries, budget start up costs, appoint a financial expert, raise funds, search for qualified: staff and teachers, market your school, prepare facility
Four months before: work up a tentative school year calendar, order curriculum and texts, order supplies for entire school
One to two months: Advertise, put an add in local paper, work on schedule of classes, use outside resources for workshops, conduct a week or two of inservice meetings, hold a get-acquainted night.

Texans Care for Children
This organizations vision is to provide a better future for children in the state of Texas. They focus their educative services to children from ages 0-adulthood. My charge is to ensure I am educated on how to nourish a child at the specific pivotal stage in their lives. I also need to stay abreast of the laws and policies that protect children and families. Additionally, mental health and overall healthcare of children is a focus I need to keep at the center of my focus.

St. Phillips is a local school I have attended and been closely associated with since I was a child. This school is the epitome of what a Christian early childhood academy should be. Exploring their website, the headmaster and principal pride their school on faith being in the future of the children that attend St. Phillips. Their focus is to enhance the lives of all students regardless of race or creed. As a prospective educator or administrator I must embrace children of all backgrounds and SES status. The qualifications of one who is worthy to be associated with St. Phillips must ensure they lead a life of example and displays actions governed by the Word of God.

ReplyDeleteThere is a special place in my heart for schools that provide Christian values to children. I attended Catholic school from Pre-K through eighth grade and I am grateful for the values and skills that I was taught there. I had very nurturing teachers and gained many of the life skills that make me the person I am today. I believe it is very important that children are taught about character education and learn how to be responsible citizens in our society. Good for you for choosing St. Phillip's as one of your community resources for early childhood education.
I'm fascinated by the organization - Texans Care for Children. Thanks for sharing that and thanks for all the cool pictures!
