Dear Parents/Guardians and Children:

A little about me: I am from Rochester, PA, a small town just north of Pittsburgh. After college, I moved to Gallitzin, where I have been ever since. I graduated from Mount Aloysius College in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood/Elementary Education and English. Since then, I have worked in a field with children and adults with Developmental Disabilities.

As a mother of four children, as well as an educator, I am acutely aware of parents needs and wants, including a caring, loving, nurturing environment for their children, especially when it comes to a daycare facility. Children have been a part of my entire life. I have had the opportunity to work professionally and through volunteer missions with different ethnicities of children, children with multiple types of disabilities and professionals in the field of education and outreach.

I am eagerly anticipating the challenge of being an intricate part of your children’s future. I love to see the look on children’s faces as they learn something new and accomplish goals in which they have set for themselves. I am also looking forward to working collaboratively with you, to meet each and every one of your children’s needs and developing a close-knit relationship in helping to meet goals and outcomes together.

I look forward to working with you and your family and developing a positive relationship. I know and understand that trust is of the utmost importance and I have full conviction that we will develop a relationship which develops an open door to communication.

If you ever have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at any time, at the contact information provided below. I thank you for entrusting me, and Start Smart Learning Center, with your children and look forward to a successful start in your child’s development.

Respectfully Yours,

Elizabeth Hogue
Owner of Start Smart Learning Center
