What a way to start the school year!!!!!! Jane Kitson was just what our teachers needed to get ready for a great year teaching preschool children. She was so motivating and her high energy level made the workshop not only informative but fun as well. She provided real life educational experiences through stories and activities. The audience participated in activities and actually had the opportunity to make materials to use with students. Her creativity was contagious and the teachers left excited about what all they could implement in their lessons for the upcoming year. If you have the opportunity to attend one of Jane’s workshops, I highly recommend it. Judy Clay Early Childhood Director Arch Ford Cooperative Judy Clay [jclay@afsc.k12.ar.us]

Jane: We have had wonderful comments from the community and conference attendees!! Thank you so much for agreeing to come to Carroll, Iowa!!! Providers stated that they often dread getting their training hours on Saturday, but Jane made the day wonderful and they were so glad they came! “Jane made me laugh and motivated me.” “Jane got us up and moving.” The teachers at Fairview thought Jane was wonderful with the children and they so enjoyed Mother Goose! Thanks Jane!! Paula Klocke, LBSW Health Services Director/ CACFP New Opportunities, Inc. 603 W. 8th Street Carroll, Iowa 51401 712-792-9266 Jane, Thanks so much for presenting at the Leaping for Literacy Early Childhood Conference on Saturday, October 20, 2007 and conducting your children’s programs at our local child care facilities. The evaluations received at the conference were very positive. They asked that we have you back for future events and programs. The audience commented on how energetic the class was and how much information could be brought back and applied in their day to day experiences with young children. It is great to have a knowledgeable presenter that gives practical ideas to utilize in the classroom. Several teachers commented on how they enjoyed the fact that the activities and songs along with props were teacher made from inexpensive or recycled items. Again, thanks for bringing your experience and excitement to our conference and keep on impacting the lives of teachers and young children in a positive way! Sincerely, Cindy Landry Child Care Specialist Southeast Texas Workforce Development Board 409-719-4772

Jane Kitson was the keynote speaker for
our local early childhood educator’s conference on March 31, 2007. Jane
actively engaged the participants in fun and educational songs and fingerplays
for children. She sparked the excitement of the participants and many were
overhead talking about what activities they couldn’t wait to use in their
classrooms. Not only did Jane speak to the early childhood educators in our
area, she also shared a children’s show. The children delighted in her stories
and fingerplays and it was obvious how well rhyme and repetition works in
building children’s language skills. We highly recommend Jane to speak at any
conference that involves teachers of young children and if you have the
opportunity to participate in a children’s show you should jump on the chance!

Let me tell you how pleased I was with the workshop you did for our small
group of teachers. I heard nothing but positive comments from everyone I
spoke with both during and after the workshop. My only regret is that we
didn't have more of our early childhood people in attendance. They missed a
phenomenal workshop. I don't know how you do it my friend. I wore out just
watching you work.
The neatest part of the whole deal though is what I saw at our Learning Center
the very next week. When I went down to greet the children one morning, there
was one of our teachers using one of the matching games she had picked up at
the workshop. She was having a great time with her kids and they were
learning. How cool is that?
I pray that you are well, and that the Lord is blessing you and your family.
In Christ,

Everyone who complained about being there on a Saturday has told me how much they have loved the workshop. I have not heard “The Wheels on the Bus” once this week.
Jane, Your workshop, “Let’s Leap into Literacy and Make Language Learning Fun”, was GREAT! Each of our preschool classrooms have already begun to put your ideas of rhyme, rhythm and repetition into action. They are taking your ideas and adapting them for their classrooms to make them work for the children they teach. Our Speech Pathologists already knew how wonderful your ideas were, but they, too, have a renewed excitement in the treatment they provide our preschoolers. Everyone at First Step, Inc. is singing yours songs this week…and your praises, too. Thanks so much for a wonderful day and for so many fun ways to approach children and learning. Rita Powell, Therapy Director, First Step, Inc.
