A little bit about me…
My name is Stacy Moffett and I love caring for
children. They challenge me, they make me
think, and most of all, they make me laugh. I
take great pride and satisfaction in being part
of the village that raises a child. I view
myself as a resource to parents; supporter and
mentor to children; and leader and facilitator
to staff. I believe the parent-child
relationship is the most important relationship
in a child’s life. The caregiver is an
extension of the child’s home life and is a role
that should not be taken lightly.
Raising a child is probably the single most
challenging and exhilarating enterprise most of
us will ever embark on. At times it can be
joyful and energizing; it can also be exhausting
and unnerving. At all times it is incredibly
momentous, valuable and worth while. I
understand the many challenges of being a parent
as I have two daughters of my own, Shelby and
Brenna. I have been married since 2005 to my
wonderful husband, Matthew.
I believe that every interaction with a child
provides an opportunity. A conflict is an
opportunity to teach listening and negotiation;
an injury is an opportunity to practice empathy;
mealtimes are an opportunity for conversation
and manners. Children thrive in a safe,
nurturing and stable environment. Each child
has something to offer the group. Each of us
can gain from the company of others. Patience
and understanding are key, and I will always
strive to demonstrate the importance of these to
parents, staff and children. I look forward to
being a part of your child’s life! Please let
me know what I can do to make your child’s
experience here one of the most memorable and
enriching experiences yet.
A little bit about our school…
The Almond Orchard campus is centrally located
in beautiful Citrus Heights. Located near the
Sunrise Mall, we offer quality care for infants
through preschool age children. We also offer a
before and After School program for your school
age child. We provide 2 snacks and serve a hot
lunch from a healthy menu. Some of our “pluses”
include:
-
Low teacher
to child ratio with a small home-like feel
-
Small
classrooms with more opportunity for
one-on-one time between student
and teacher
-
Friendly,
energetic qualified staff with a passion for
teaching young children
Because we feel that children have a right to
quality education, we know that children must be
taught from a personalized and individualized
approach. The Phoenix Schools are committed to
providing that personalized instruction to meet
the needs of each and every child. Our
curriculum includes Zoo Phonics, Math Their Way,
D ‘nealian Writing, Science, Social Studies,
Kindness Curriculum, Computers and a variety of
Literature choices. We are actively involved in
our local community by offering Harvest
Festivals, an End of the Summer Bash, and a
Friendship Parties.
The Phoenix Schools are well known for our
celebration of Week of the Young Child in the
spring each year. We celebrate the children,
teachers, parents and the community by taking a
day to celebrate each. We end the fun week with
a ladybug release and a party!
I look forward to sharing all of the details
with you in person,
