Dear Early Childhood Center Families,

Hello, my name is Lillian Figueroa-Burgos and I am the new interim principal at the Early Childhood Center. I am so excited and honored to have been selected to join East Aurora District 131. Mrs. Katie Kogut is still a part of our program, but will now be serving as the Interim Director of Early Childhood for our district.

Over the past 13 years, I have worked as a teacher and program supervisor in early childhood. I look forward to spending time in the classrooms getting to know your children, their personalities, and interests. I will let them know how much they are valued in our school. I am also looking forward to getting to know all the families in our program. I hope that we can work together as a team to help our preschoolers succeed.

My goal is for our preschoolers to be ready for kindergarten, academically and socially. Together as a team, school, home, and community, we can work together to make this happen. I will ensure that all children are happy, healthy, and in a safe environment so they can learn as much as possible. At this age, children are like sponges, they learn everything we teach them!

Once again, I am grateful for the opportunity to be working with our preschoolers and families. I have an open door policy, please feel free to come in with any comments, concerns, questions, or just to say hello. I am looking forward to a great school year!

Warm Regards,

Lillian Figueroa-Burgos
Early Childhood Center Interim Principal
