2023: Juliet Bitanga<\/strong><\/summary>

\n

Juliet Bitanga immigrated to Kodiak Island in 2009 from Laoag City, Philippines. While in the Philippines, she owned and operated a small cafeteria business and took care of elderly family members. In Kodiak, Juliet worked for a year as a cannery seafood processor. With the encouragement of a Filipina educator, she applied for licensure and established her own child care program in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has three children and has raised them all successfully. Juliet weaves her passion for taking care of children by joyfully and lovingly caring for Kodiak\u2019s kids as her own. With every meal she serves, she shares her love of cooking native Philippine delicacies, giving the children in her care a chance to taste the nutritious food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juliet received an associate degree in secretarial science from the Philippines. Through her persistence, she was able to translate these education credentials and begin developing her program. Juliet\u2019s nominator emphasizes that \u201cshe has prioritized continuous learning and self-improvement, both for herself and her staff, to provide the highest quality of care for the children attending her facility.\u201d She eventually joined Learn & Grow<\/strong> and has worked up to achieving a Level 2 certification. This professional development motivates her to continue her education and participate in the Alaska System for Early Education Development (Alaska SEED<\/strong>), so she can keep providing high quality and professional child care for children in Kodiak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis commitment to staying informed has translated to innovative and evidence-based approaches being implemented at Juliet\u2019s Daycare. Juliet actively engages in regular self-reflection and seeks feedback from parents like me to identify areas where she can improve as a childcare provider and business owner\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juliet collaborates with her two older children and the parents of the children in her care to implement creative ways to nurture them. Over the years, she has secured state and local grants to improve the safety of her facility, purchase new appliances, and implement new activities. Every day, she works to ensure the children have a joyful experience while preparing them with the skills they need to thrive when they start school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJuliet demonstrates a genuine passion for engaging with families at her daycare, recognizing the importance of establishing strong partnerships between caregivers and parents to provide the best possible care and educational experience for the children\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juliet plans to continue improving her child care services in the years to come.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Jan Marquis founded Adventures in Learning in Kenai, Alaska in 2012. Her two children, Jett, and Alexis were her inspiration for opening the program. What started out as a small, in-home preschool later turned into a licensed childcare center, focusing on quality early education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jan has a passion for teaching and cannot imagine her life without all the inspiration, energy, and joy that young children bring the world! She strives to provide an inclusive, diverse early education environment that is accessible to as many children as possible. Her center reflects her personal philosophy that early education is about fostering the whole child through developmentally appropriate activities and play based environments that are inclusive of all children. She believes all children should have access to high quality, low-cost early education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jan has been described as a one woman show \u2013 as owner, director, teacher, custodian, accountant, nurse, counselor, and curriculum specialist, she does it all! Jan regularly takes professional development courses and has been enrolled in an online program to obtain her degree in education (all while raising her own children and founding her own preschool\/child care program).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She recognizes parents as a child\u2019s first teacher and invites them to participate in their child\u2019s active learning by hosting many events and field trips. She asks for parent input to design curriculum to meet the needs of each individual child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a lifelong Alaskan, she is connected to her local community and can direct families to helpful community resources. She often collaborates with the local school district and other community organizations to help students who experience disabilities transition to public school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jan\u2019s nominator shared \u201cI remember the first time dropping my daughter off at preschool. Ms. Jan would greet her with the biggest hugs, smiles, and chit-chat! I thought that my daughter was Jan’s favorite because of the way she was greeted with so much LOVE! But the more I took my child and started noticing how other kids were greeted, I realized that my kid was not the “favorite.” Jan greets EVERY single kid with the same excitement, presence, and out-pouring of love that she gave to my child.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lupita Alvarez of Montessori Borealis Children’s House in Juneau is the recipient of thread\u2019s<\/strong> 2021 Cindy Harrington Heart & Mind Award. She received the award at a virtual ceremony held on Facebook Live on April 15, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 20 years ago, Lupita got involved in early childhood education, particularly with the Montessori method, wanting to be a well-informed educator and administrator. She obtained her Montessori Certification at the Primary Level ages 3-6+ and her Master\u2019s Degree in Education, later obtaining an Elementary Education, M.A.T. from the University of Alaska, Southeast to be able to teach in the public school system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of the award, Lupita was the lead teacher and administrator of the Montessori Borealis Children’s House in Juneau. After many years working in the Juneau School District, she was interested in bringing the Montessori method to more of Juneau\u2019s young children. Lupita worked with the local school board and superintendent in 2015 to create the Children\u2019s House as part of the Montessori Borealis Public School. The Children\u2019s House offers Pre-K and Kindergarten Montessori program to children ages 3 to 5 within the public school system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Lupita\u2019s program was temporarily closed. She immediately looked for creative ways to engage her children and their families virtually, including conducting Zoom class meetings, creating a class website, publishing lessons on YouTube, and designing weekly activity plans for parents to implement with their children at home. At the same time, she worked with her local and regional early childhood community to learn about how to safely re-open her program. As a result, Montessori Borealis Children\u2019s House was the only Pre-K and Kindergarten program that was in-person at the beginning of the 2020-21 school year. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n
