Lovilia Headstart has been in transition for a year. After inspectors who decide on adequacy of buildings said that the school building on the old Lovilia school site was no longer meeting their guidelines, the students and teachers were using the Lovilia Community Building as their temporary home.
A site was purchased on South H Street and the corner with 3rd Street. The site was prepared and a double wide trailer was placed there for the classrooms. Steps and handicap accessible ramps were placed at the exits. All that is needed is to prepare the grounds and put all the playground equipment into place.
Open house revealed two well lighted classrooms and two bathrooms with a kitchen in between. The room has a play “house” section, lego section, soft cushioned reading area, large motor skills area, and a table for lessons. There is also a listening center and technology center. Currently the second classroom will be used for the lunchroom and the second bathroom for storage. But there is room for them to be utilized for classes if enrollment grows.
Currently 9 students have enrolled for the fall term. There is room for 6 more students. Students are eligible if they are 3 years old by Sept. 15th, 2010. There are income guidelines. Call the teacher, Jessica Caudill, if you want to see if your child could enroll. Her number is 641-946-7992.
Jessica Caudill is lead instructor, Sandy Keegal is assistant instructor, and Kelly Nichols is the cook. All three women live in the Lovilia community. All three were at open house and excited about the new facilities and looking forward to meeting the children and parents of the fall class.
