School Notes
- Dear Families,
Welcome to the North Dakota; my name is Anna LaRosa and I am the Center Director. I would like to formally welcome you and your child to our school and into our family. Pioneer Lane prides itself on putting children first both emotionally and academically. Our first priority is creating a school that builds childrens' self confidence and instills a sense of pride in one's accomplishments. It is our mission that your child has the best start in life and experiences success in all their endeavors.
I joined the KinderCare team in November of 2009 and came to North Dakota May of 2013. Prior to that I was fresh off of teaching Kindergarten and working on curriculum implementation in the private and public school arenas. By providing our children with quality teachers, it is my goal that your child receives a caring, stimulating and fun education that will prepare them for the milestones they will meet in the future. I look forward to getting to know your child and your family. My door is always open.
Sincerely,
Anna L. LaRosa
Center Director
