Melissa Summers February Star Provider




Mrs. Melissa Summers was a February’s STAR provider of the month at ACPC. Mrs. Summers is the NCPK, formerly More at Four, teacher assistant at Salem Sloan Child Enrichment Center. She was observed in several teachable moments following developmentally appropriate practice. As the children waited to wash hands for lunch she engaged the waiting children in songs and finger plays. During group time she was observed engaging children’s curiosity as they discussed birds. The children were allowed to expand on their ideas without discounting their thoughts. If a child believed that birds could moon dance she validated that response allowing the child to feel confident in their knowledge.
