WHAT PEOPLE SAY
The Martin Family
CELA has been such an incredible blessing for our family. Under the guidance
of Mrs. Pankey, I have watched my son truly blossom both academically and
socially. The balance between structured instruction and play-based learning
is absolutely perfect, allowing him to grow while still enjoying the magic of
childhood. Mrs. Pankey has a gift for making learning fun and meaningful,
meeting each child right where they are. I’m incredibly grateful for the care,
patience, and dedication shown over the past two years. This school is more
than just a place of learning it’s a community that feels like family. Truly, it’s a
hidden gem in West Point.
My time at CELA this year has been nothing short of amazing! I started here in
August and have been able to stay with Mrs. Pankey and her class through the
whole year. Through this year I have learned so much about children and
becoming an educator myself, I could write a book about the things I’ve learned
from Mrs. Pankey this year. The patience she shows, and her classroom
management is something I took so much from. Each one of her students knows
they are loved by her, and I inspire to have relationships with my students the
way she loves hers. Thank you CELA for all the things you have taught me this
year, the laughs and all the fun times are memories I’ll carry with me forever. This preschool is a wonderful asset to the community, thank you for letting me be a part of it!
Working at CELA has been a wonderful and rewarding experience for the past
two years. I have truly enjoyed spending time with the children, helping them
learn, grow, and explore new things each day. The environment has been so
much fun, and it has given me the opportunity to build meaningful connections
while gaining valuable experience. I am grateful for the chance to be part of such a positive and caring learning space. Thank you Mrs. Pankey for showing me what a positive and supportive environment can look like it has truly been a joy getting to know you and the students you share with me!
