Great Beginnings
Christian Childcare Center

Hello and welcome to the Great Beginnings school aged summer program. My name is David Miller and I can not wait for the fun and excitement that the summer has in store! I would love to give you a brief introduction of who I am. I was born and raised in Saginaw where I attended a Christian school in Bridge-port. After High school graduation, I moved on to Delta College where I studied early education and eventually graduated with my Associate of Arts degree. From there, I moved onto West Coast Baptist College in California and studied Bible for one year where I successfully completed the one year Bible certificate program. I am currently studying at Saginaw Valley State University where I plan to graduate soon with my degree in Elementary Education. I have been with Great beginnings for a few months now and have enjoyed learning not only from the staff, but also from your kids! I am so glad I have the opportunity to make an impact on your kids lives throughout the summer!

Hello there, my name is Lauren Kaczor and I will be with your children in the afternoon. I grew up in the suburbs of Saginaw, Michigan. I attended Swan Valley Schools through my k-12 career. I then moved to Mount Pleasant, Michigan to further my education at Central Michigan University. Here, I decided to pursue a teaching career in the subjects of Physical Education and School Health Education. Here, I joined Phi Epsilon Kappa, a national professional coed fraternity and the Michigan Education Association. Being a part of these organizations helped me develop as a professional. I have had the remarkable chance to complete a great amount of volunteer work throughout my career. I had the pleasure to volunteer for the summer and winter Special Olympics, coach an elementary girls basketball and volleyball team, and many other activities. I graduated in May 2011 with a Bachelor of Science in Education degree. I love kids and having a significant impact on their lives. I am very grateful and excited to be with the boys and girls this summer!

This summer promises to be one of the best yet! We want to have tons of fun and be able to be outside a lot. We have been working on an amazing plan that is just the right mix of academia and excitement! This month, our theme is Kids Around the World! We plan to take an interactive look at similarities and differences between our American culture and the others around us. We have many theme based activities planned that include projects, reading, eating, and even spending time with people who actually live in different countries! Each and every day will be a fun and learning adventure for your kids!

We look for-ward to working with you to make the best out of this summer!
