Last year we started a super fun tradition for all of our preschool teachers. We gave each teacher a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a love note- telling them why we appreciate having them be a part of our Bright Beginnings family. It was such a success that we decided to make it a tradition every year. Who doesn’t like to receive flowers and a kind letter on Valentine’s Day? The day takes a bit of planning- we organize the day with Trader Joe’s- they help us pick out the bouquet’s ahead of time and make sure there are enough delivered on Valentine’s Day morning. Then Ms. Alison goes to Trader Joe’s in Charlottesville first thing in the morning when they open to pick up the boxes of flowers so she can deliver them to our Crozet, Forest Lakes and Mill Creek preschools. Our Directors at all of our locations have the sweet notes they have written for their teachers ready to go when Alison gets to each school for it’s flower drop off! It is so fun to see each teacher receive flowers and a note! This year was a particularly fun day because we had teacher appreciation day on Valentine’s Day. The theme was Fondue and our parents went all out with the celebration. Spending Valentine’s Day with preschoolers is always full of excitement- it never gets old! A big thank you to all of our teachers for always going the extra mile with our children- you are our forever Valentine’s!
