Student Services

The Shear Early Childhood Center has established a goal to develop a system of School-wide Positive Behavior Support for our students to proactively address the development of responsible behaviors that will support their academic success.  Our model will parallel that in the elementary schools to serve two purposes:
  • To provide our Latchkey students with a PBS system that is consistent with that experienced in their elementary schools
  • To help our young students learn the components of the PBS system so that they are better prepared for a smooth transition to Kindergarten.
 
Health and Education Learning for Parents –
The Annual H.E.L.P. Fair
is offered to parents and guardians of the district who have children from
 0-5 years.  This event is supported by nursing students from Madonna University and provides parents the opportunity to speak with professionals about developmental issues related to speech, behavior, cognition, nutrition, and exercise.  Activities are available for children to participate including the creation of edible necklaces using dried fruits and cereal, the assembly of a healthy snack, fun art activities, and a reading corner where they will listen to stories with themes of nutrition and physical activity.
