Hi :)

My name is Ms. Emily and I will be your child's teacher for the
2011-2012 school year. I graduated in December 2007 from Tennessee Tech
University with a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education and Early
Childhood Special Education. I am very excited to begin my fourth full year
of PreK! If you have any questions, concerns or comments feel free to email
me at any time: eholtam@k12tn.net  
Or you may call the school between the hours of 7:30am and 3pm!

Our PreK Mission at Celina K8

The purpose of the PreK Program is to provide an educational experience 
that will support our students in becoming the best they can be. The staff 
at Celina K-8 PreK will support the child in building social, cognitive, 
language and motor skills, using developmentally appropriate practices. 
Working with the families, the staff at Celina K-8 PreK will strive to 
prepare each child with a positive outlook on life and learning and a 
feeling of competence and success.
     This program will serve four-year olds, in a full day program, Monday 
through Friday. The school day will begin at 7:30 and end at 3:00. Meals 
will be provided in the Celina K-8 Cafeteria. Children may be served by the 
Free and Reduced Meal Plan. The PreK program is open to all four-year olds, 
but children with disabilities or low income will receive priority 
placement. An on-site nurse is available, part-time. Parents will be 
contacted in the event that medical treatment becomes necessary.
