ELCFV is proud to celebrate excellence in early learning!
Our Chief Executive Officer DJ Lebo along with Quality Impact Specialist Camille Famularo and Program Administrators Julie Nazario and Magda Colon recently recognized Brandy Ball from Gateway Christian Academy for her outstanding achievement in her VPK classroom!
Brandy earned an amazing CLASS Score of 6.22!* She has cultivated strong, positive relationships with the children in her care, creating a supportive environment that promotes both academic success and social-emotional growth. She thoughtfully incorporates learning experiences that foster higher-order thinking, encouraging students to explore “how” and “why” questions, engage in problem-solving, and participate in hands-on exploration and experimentation to deepen their understanding.
We are inspired by the meaningful impact she makes every day in the lives of children!
CLASS is measured on a 7-point range.
