It is my pleasure to welcome all of our Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten students and families to the Heights Early Childhood Center. By continuing to utilize the district's Vision for Success, I am eagerly anticipating measureable growth and achievement in all of our students.
In addition to our own Pre-Kindergarten classroom, our Center will also house four Head Start pre-school classrooms which service 3 and 4 year old children from the Highlands School District. Head Start will also have their administrative offices at Heights. The Center will also be the location of the Before/After School Program through the Allegheny Valley YMCA.
Using our Positive Behavior Support model, students will utilize taught building and classroom procedures as well as explicitly explained school wide rules. Through this model, our students will exhibit exemplary behavior which will maximize time on task and minimize disruptive classroom behaviors. This will increase learning.
Establishing a strong bond between school and home is the key to a successful student. Ongoing communication with staff regarding your child's education will provide the bond necessary for consistent improvement.
The Heights Early Childhood Center is a family made up of students, families, faculty, staff and community. I look forward to building the lasting relationships that will propel your child to be their best. By working together, we can meet and exceed each child's potential!
Best,
Ian G. Miller
Principal / Supervisor of Early Childhood Programs
