TEACHER
Dawn Therber, our kindergarten teacher is a graduate of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga with a BS degree in Multidisciplinary School Learning K-8 and a Master of Education in Educational Leadership from Trevecca Nazarene University. She has a total of thirteen years teaching experience: 5 years in first and second grades and 5 in 5th grade and five in kindergarten.
She is also involved in the children’s ministry at Pleasant Valley North Baptist Church teaching 4 and 5 year olds.
We limit our class to 16 children, with one teacher and one teacher’s aide.
Our primary goal is to prepare children for success in first grade.
We cover all the Georgia standards for Kindergarten and use DIBELS testing, the same assessment used by both Rome City and Floyd County Schools.
We also provide a gap-year Kindergarten for children with summer birthdays.
Our half-day program with small class size and hands-on learning give younger children an extra year to mature while still being challenged.
And for families who plan to homeschool:
PALS kindergarten provides an excellent educational foundation, upon which parents can build.
