Welcome to Rising Stars Preschool! Hello, my name is Leah Osborne and I am the Director for Rising Stars Preschool. I feel incredibly privileged to lead an amazing group of educated and nurturing teachers and am delighted to be a part of an organization that provides children an environment where they can explore the world around them while feeling safe and loved! My educational and child development philosophy aligns directly with that of Rising Stars in that children will love to learn when they are given the tools to discover the world through their own exploration. My goal in early childhood education is to not only provide ample opportunities for learning but also for growth in areas including physical, social, emotional, and creative development. The preparedness that your child will receive at Rising Stars will ensure their success in school and in life. And for this, I am truly proud to be this team’s advocate. Our educators truly understand the development of children and realize the importance of using each opportunity as a teachable moment. All of our teachers have an abundance of education and experience to draw upon with the ability to treat teachable moments individually and with fervor to help guide children in making the best choices. They also create their own unique, fun, and engaging lesson plans to meet the individual and developmental needs of each child in the classroom. We feel your child’s success depends on our small ratios (usually less than half of the state requirements) which results in more individualized attention to better understand and work with your child’s unique learning style. We feel this creates a healthy learning environment with limited behavioral disruptions and more time dedicated towards creative play and academics. As a mother of two who attend Rising Stars Preschool, I am confident and pleased that my children will have ample exposure to practice pre-writing and pre-reading skills, math and science concepts, music and movement fun, and imaginative play all in an environment full of healthy socialization. I know that they are truly getting a balance of academics and oh so important problem solving skills that they will need to be successful in everything they do. This is why it is our mission to ensure that the children at Rising Stars Preschool expand their young minds to reach anything and everything! Sincerely, Leah Osborne has a B.S. Degree in Psychology and has over seven years of experience working with children in various capacities. Previously, she was an Assistant Director at Primrose School, a Director for the YMCA, a Program Coordinator of Training & Recruiting, and a Lead Teacher for children ages 2 and 3. Additionally, in collaboration with the 21st Century Grant Staff she has presented school age focus trainings for the Round Rock ISD as well as presented various trainings at the national level. Leah is married to Devin and has two preschool- aged children, Laila and Julius. |
