"This is one of the most moving experiences that I am fortunate to experience each year," said Therese Thompson, owner of The Children's Center of Austin. "There are very few things that cause such pause and reflection as witnessing these children and their families celebrate their successes as they move on to the next stage in their lives."

Many of the children graduating from The Children's Center of Austin will enter kindergarten in the public school system next year. The Children's Center of Austin eases that transition through curriculum that is designed to stimulate learning and promote social skills, along with one of the lowest child to teacher ratios in Austin.

The graduation ceremony will highlight the skills and knowledge the children have acquired as well as provided for an entertaining and fun event. Diplomas will be awarded to the graduates and the "Class of 2010" will be presented to their parents and invited guests.

"We have all worked very hard for this moment," said Julie Keen, Regional Director, The Children's Center of Austin. "We are so proud of this class and happy to see their accomplishments, but at the same time it is a little bittersweet knowing that these children won't be ours to love and nurture on an everyday basis."

About The Children's Center of Austin

The Children's Center of Austin is Austin's finest preschool and educational childcare facility committed to providing top quality care, education and extracurricular activities to children from infancy through pre-kindergarten, as well as after school care for kindergarten through fifth grade and summer camps for children ages five through eight. The organization prepares children for success in kindergarten through programs designed with age appropriate activities, focused on the developmental learning and social skill growth of each child. Family owned and operated in Central Texas since 1970, The Children's Center of Austin is a family-focused operation with an open door policy and a commitment to work closely with parents for the welfare of the whole family. With one of the lowest child to teacher ratios in Austin, The Children's Center of Austin's in-house developed curriculum is tailored to meet each child's individual development needs. Class size is the most important factor in education quality; therefore The Children's Center of Austin keeps pre-kindergarten class sizes four to six students smaller than most preschools. The Children's Center of Austin offers learning activities with separate classrooms and areas for art, gym, library and reading, computers, Spanish and a highly monitored and secure swimming pool. With curriculum designed to stimulate learning and promote social skills, children rotate through rooms and activities so are not confined to one room all day. Additionally, The Children's Center of Austin is the only preschool offering twice monthly field trips or in-house activities throughout the school year and daily field trips during its summer camp session. The Children's Center of Austin places strong emphasis on teacher training, providing its staff with opportunities for professional growth and development, including in-house training and participation in curriculum planning.
