Hello,
I’m Tammy Moore, the Executive Director for Starrett Early Learning Center, and I’m excited to embark on another enriching school year with all of you! My passion lies in collaborating with families to nurture emotionally and cognitively strong, resilient learners. I truly believe that “it takes a village to raise a child,” and I’m thrilled to share this journey with our dedicated education leaders and you, our families.
Our Mission
At Starrett Early Learning Center, we are committed to providing a nurturing environment that promotes authentic play and learning through hands-on experiences tailored to developmental needs. We embrace the diversity of our community, offering families from various backgrounds opportunities to engage in enriching activities that enhance learning both at school and at home. Together, we aim to forge strong relationships that foster lifelong growth for our children.
Our Focus
We serve 3- and 4-year-olds across five Department of Education classrooms, all licensed by The Department of Health. Our curriculum is designed around the NYC Early Childhood Framework for Equality and The Early Learning Outcomes Framework, emphasizing five core areas:
- Approaches to Learning: Engaging children in the learning process.
- Physical Development and Health: Supporting children’s physical well-being and daily activities.
- Social and Emotional Development: Fostering emotional competence and positive relationships.
- Communication, Language, and Literacy: Helping children understand and express meaning.
- Cognition and Knowledge of the World: Building knowledge and understanding of their environment.
We believe that socially-emotionally healthy children are better equipped to form positive relationships. Our proactive guidance approach emphasizes reinforcing appropriate behaviors to support our students’ development.
Enrollment
Enrollment for our 3K and 4K programs is open year-round. If your child was born in 2020 or 2021, they are eligible to join us for the 2024-2025 school year. Feel free to give us a call or drop by!
Thank you for being a vital part of our community. I look forward to an incredible year ahead!
Warm regards,
Tammy Moore, MS. Ed
