Janie Charlton, Director

Teaching Experience:

Teaching preschool-aged children since 1984
Background:

Born in Minnesota and I grew up in Ellensburg.
I was raised in the service industry - as my family was in the Restaurant Business.
I'm the 2nd of 8 children, raised in the country with lots of room to roam, horses and cattle.
I have two children, ages 10 and 12, and currently reside in Ellensburg.
I enjoy horseback riding, hiking, exploring and all four seasons with my children.
Education:

B.A. in Early Childhood Education from Central Washington University (1983).
Variety of graduate classes, workshops, converences and trainings.
Philosophy:

We are dedicated to the highest quality developmental care possible for each child in a secure, homelike environment providing warmth, affection, and support.

Coming into the ECLC Centers parents will find a welcoming, nurturing, family-friendly environment. All families are welcome and encouraged to take an active interest in their childs day. To communicate with the Lead teachers and to share their concerns, questions, values and goals for their child.

I grew up in Redmond, WA and have lived in CleElum since 1995. I'm married and we are expecting a daughter in February 08.
Education:

Philosophy:

Childhood should be a journey, not a race, I believe children need patience, nutruring and consistancy to mold them into wonderful people.
My goals:

To continue working on my masters and continue education and management courses for my personal growth.



Washington State Early Learning and Development Benchmarks: a resource that the ECLC uses to help guide children's development and learning.


These benchmarks provide information about the following:

Physical Well-Being, Health, and Motor Development
 
Social and Emotional Development
 
Approaches Toward Learning
 
Cognition and General Knowledge
 
Language, Communication, and Literacy


Parents can use the Benchmarks as a way to better understand what they can expect to see as their children develop and to better support and enhance their children's development and learning.
