Letter to the editor: Kudos to early ed teachers, too
This is teacher appreciation week, and what about the teachers we had whom we cannot remember. Studies repeatedly show that the most critical years of education occur from 2-5. Few, if any of us, can remember what these teachers did for us. Although it is many years ago now, I’d like to commend Jane Reilly and Kathy Newton for the extraordinary work they did teaching my two children at the Middlebury Cooperative Nursery School. The care, love, and lessons they taught the children prepared them well for public school, college, and their lives in the world. Let’s take a moment to thank and recognize early education teachers who work with our youngest children to prepare them for their future lives.
