Since 1986, Kids Who Count has provided Early Intervention services to families of young children residing in the Nebo School District boundaries. We’ve helped thousands of families and children and we can help you. If you are concerned about your baby or toddler’s development or had a medical professional talk to you about some milestones your child hasn’t yet reached, you may be eligible for early intervention services. The purpose of Early Intervention is to enhance early growth and development in infants and toddlers under three, who have developmental delays or disabilities. Anyone can make a referral to receive a full assessment of your child’s health and developmental status at no cost. If you’re concerned about your infant or toddler, don’t hesitate to contact us. And, we now offer Autism Services for children 2 and older. Visit https://kidswhocount.org/ for more information. We are here to help!

Mrs. Ripplinger's class got their 100th new word on their word wall, so they had a STEM party! They used dried spaghetti noodles and marshmallows to build the tallest, coolest tower! 

This month in the library, our focus has been on STEM.  Each week, we have read STEM books and had lessons on things like imagination, perseverance, grit, and learning from failure.  We've had lots of fun centers.  The students have learned about computer coding, circuit boards, creative thinking, and many different engineering strategies. We have had a blast!

Mrs. Holt is a wife, mother, and outstanding educator. Her husband and children are so grateful to have such an amazing wife and mother. As a mother of three, she has a lot on her plate. She is able to balance the busy aspects of home-life with the craziness of teaching. She is a support to her team and leads kindergarten in a positive way. When she is not at school, she is a wonderful mom and tirelessly strives to support the needs of her children and needy husband. After a day full of snotty noses, tying shoes, letting children in lines, redirecting countless times, and all the other demands of teaching in today’s schools, she comes home and has the patience to help with homework, make lunches, do multiple loads of laundry and be present for her family. She does everything with love and dedication. 

Mrs. Holt has been teaching for 14 years, and has spent all of those years at Santaquin Elementary masterfully teaching Kindergarten. She has obtained a Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, and spent many hours gaining further education so that she is up on the latest ideas for supporting her students. She has a great understanding of early childhood  development and always implements best practices in her teaching. She is 100% dedicated to her students. She knows and loves each of them and knows how to help them. 

Congratulations Mrs. Holt!
