What Our Teachers Were UP To
Professional Development Days
Just because the JSU Child Development Center was closed, doesn't mean the learning stopped!
Our teachers were so excited to be involved in intense Professional Development the first couple of days of August, along with setting up their rooms for the new year. We appreciate the support of our parents and the JSU College of Education and Professional Studies for allowing us this time.
