A joy at Aloha is to see our students, under the able leadership of Stacy Major and Ashley Dimeo, work with our Little Warriors in the Child Development Program. At first glance, seeing our students work with the kids looks so cute and fun... which it is!However, our students learn so much more. In their initial class, Stacy's classes learn about the stages of child development, teaching skills and ways to discipline and motivate in a kind and fair manner.
This spring, students earning a Career Pathways Certificate will present portfolios outlining their learnings... don't miss this fun and meaningful activity!
This program certainly addresses empathy, play and meaning... Pink would be proud!
I was a guest musician in the Child Development class and I was very impressed with the entire operation. In particular, the leadership of the AHS students and their drive to work with the lil' ones (without having to be told by their teacher) were outstanding.
