Vogel

? Planting Seeds of Hope Through Exceptional CLASS Performance! ? At Vogel, Hope Begins with every interaction, every lesson, and every smile shared in our classrooms. The Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) reflects the heart of what we do—creating spaces where scholars feel supported, engaged, and inspired to grow. As part of Vogel's commitment to quality early childhood education, twice a year we have our classrooms assessed by outside CLASS assessors. Last month we received the scores from our Fall assessments and all our classrooms scored well above the national average. Congratulations to our teachers. We are proud of you and the work you do with our children everyday. ??Together, we’re transforming classrooms into gardens of possibility! #HopeBeginsHere #VogelCLASS #GrowingHope

Your support makes this possible—because of you, children have a safe space to grow, and families have a path forward. Thank you for being the hope that our families need. Together, let’s keep planting seeds of hope, building brighter futures, and make a difference this holiday season. https://lnkd.in/ea65nuhx #HopeBegins #TransformLives #VogelCommunity
