Let Them Be Little
We see young children everywhere…
…at home, at church, at school…
in the mall, in the neighborhood, at the park.
Creating situations and settings where children can
grow, learn, develop and enjoy life
is critical to successful outcomes.
EARLY ESSENTIALS
believes in the importance of…
advocating for children and families,
respecting children as learners,
supporting those who work in the field and
helping others to understand and implement this concept.
EARLY ESSENTIALS
is designed around three pillars of belief
about quality services for young children and their families:
Engaging Environments
Family Partnerships
Intentional Teaching by Cohesive Teams
***************************
Whether your program needs to…
+ design individualized & appealing learning for your staff
+ assist in classroom design and implementation
+ collaborate for a special project or task
+ provide engaging, hands-on activities for parent events or
+ lead a professional book study in your community…
anything is possible!
About Sharon Jackson
I have been fortunate to work for forty years in the field that I love…getting paid to do what you enjoy is a great gift!
Early Essentials grew from that enjoyment and the personal satisfaction that comes from new learning, new ideas and new friends. My family is a great support to me…my husband who (mostly) cheerfully bears an environment that is often cluttered with books and papers and my children who accompanied me to centers and schools during their early years.
I believe in stewardship of resources and in tithing my time and talents. Those concepts undergird the work I feel called to do for young children and their families.
I have a passion for inviting and exciting preschool, Pre-K and child care environments. I look forward to visiting with you to determine the best path to follow and the next steps that will bring you success and enhance the work being done in your world with little ones.
Dynamic Directors Design
Handling all the duties of directing a center or program can be overwhelming at times. EARLY ESSENTIALS can work with you to create a training plan, design parent meetings, build a professional development library or coordinate with other directors in your area to organize a regular support team or a monthly book study for your own growth and development.
