Teacher Testimonials
What I enjoy most about working here is it truly feels like one big family. The teachers are all so supportive of one another and work together. Since I have started working here at the beginning of 2024, I have already enrolled in programs to further my education for an early childhood education degree. I would be able to do this without the programs crayons 2 pencils.
What i enjoy most about crayons 2 Pencils ELC is the work environment and who i get to spend my days with!
I have learned so much while working here- i feel as if i have grown as a person while helping littles grow as well. I have learned a lot in planning, fixing conflict, building bonds, etc. One thing i will never forget is my first day and the first color “run” i attended! I love how we do yearly activites like that. We love to engage and learn while also making it fun! I feel that I can trust my coworkers and be myself around them. It is a very fun work environment. I like being able to come to work, do my job but also have fun with both the kids and other teachers! Our center is unique and special because we do lots of hands-on learning.
