Helping Avon's Littlest Learners Belong, Learn, and Grow

Episode Summary

The school experiences children have when they're in preschool and kindergarten can set the stage for a student to enjoy a lifetime love of learning. We're currently enrolling children in our community preschool and kindergarten programs for the upcoming 2026-27 school year, so Dr. Wyndham had a conversation with three of our excellent early childhood educators. Meet White Oak Early Learning Center Principal Karie Mize, White Oak Teacher Jana Shugars, and Sycamore Kindergarten Teacher Monica Sloan and find out what they're doing to help Avon's littlest learners belong, learn, and grow. Stick around to hear the story of a heartwarming, full-circle moment Karie Mize enjoyed and see the episode notes for links to learn more about preschool, kindergarten, and non-resident enrollment for the 2026-27 school year.
