I am so blessed to have my girls enrolled in a wonderful preschool/daycare. Munch’s teacher is Miss K. This teacher is an angel. She is incredibly creative; her bulletin boards are a work of art. Miss K is preparing the children for kindergarten, but she is also imparting life lessons. Munch adores Miss K.
Miss K made my morning the other day just before Christmas break. She pulled me aside to show me something that Munch had made. Miss K remarked that Munch was innovative. Munch can see something and recreate it. She has a wonderful gift, and Miss K’s comment showed me what a thoughtful teacher she is.
Munch received the coolest gift from her great-aunt this Christmas. She received a book that shows her how to draw animals. I posted the pictures that Munch drew on Facebook, and her lovely teacher was one of the first people to like her drawings. I feel so blessed to have such a kind and caring professional like Miss K to help guide my sweet Munch.
I learned all about the curriculum for this school year just before the school year started in a meeting with Miss K. At that point I confided in Miss K that I had suffered from postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety after I had Skeeter. I advised Miss K that Munch had experienced some emotional trauma. Munch saw me not coping very well. I shouted a lot, and I cried a lot. I advised Miss K that Munch and I together were learning new coping skills on managing our emotions. Miss K offered me nothing but support and praise for helping instill coping mechanisms for my sensitive Munch. I pray that we find as wonderful and as caring of a kindergarten teacher for Munch. We will not forget Miss K. She is truly one of a kind.
Oh Jen, I’m so thankful Munch has a teacher like Miss K. I wish there were more of her!
Rach, I feel so blessed. We took our time choosing our daycare/preschool. I feel like we were guided to that center. It’s close to home, and the teachers and directors have become like family to us.
That’s awesome. I often worry about the emotional trauma monkey has gone through, I hope to get a great teacher as you did for Munch
Jessica, I thought I was going to be sick when I told Miss K my story. It was the first time that I had disclosed to anyone at our daycare/preschool about what had happened. I was met with nothing but love and understanding. I think that it helps to talk to the teacher about each child’s personality and quirks. It provides them an emotional insight into what goes on at home.
