Meet Isabella. Her teachers help her feel safe.
Her scared, guarded demeanor has been replaced with a giggly carefree grin. Her teachers help her to feel safe in a school setting.
Isabella: age 4
Enrolled in one of our preschool programs, Isabella is a petite child with big brown eyes. Only four years old, she is often scared and unsure of her surroundings. Isabella speaks very little. She is shy and withdrawn.
For her teachers, it is evident that Isabella's family doesn?t have much in the way of material things. Food, a warm bed and safety would be commonplace for most of us--but not for Isabella's family.
Isabella qualifies for the free 'More at Four' preschool due to her family's low income. At snack time, the wide-eyed little girl seems to hunch over her food as though fearful that someone might take it. Sometimes her teachers find her hiding scraps of food to take home.
At Barium Springs Isabella's teachers work diligently to help her feel safe in a school setting. They are preparing her for kindergarten which she will attend next year in the public school system.
