To Whom It May Concern:
We have had the good fortune to have Ms. Joni Downey teach in our preschool and early
childhood program for over 5 years. She is one of the passionate people and advocate for
building character with children at an early age. All of our children recognized each of
the “Characters” and understood “Friendship Frog” represented being a good friend, or
“Healthy Hippo” reminded the children to eat healthy and develop healthy habits! These
are just a few of the “Great Characters.”
Unfortunately, Ms. Joni left our employ to pursue her dream of getting her “Characters”
in all of the local school districts and neighboring community. Characters of Character is
great for the early learners and preschool children. The children can recognize their
favorite animals and relate to their message. We are thrilled to hear that “Characters of
Character is being considered for the Barrington Area. We feel the teachers would enjoy
the program along with all of the little children. Even our parents welcomed the positive
support and message of “Characters of Character.” As an educator for over 14 years, I
highly endorse Ms. Joni and the “Characters of Character.” Introducing this program at
an early age will provide benefits that last a lifetime. The program has an answer for
bullying, conflict resolution, building self esteem, making healthy choices, being a good
friend, being honest and having compassion. Isn’t this all of the qualities, we wish for all
of our children? Ms. Joni’s “Characters of Characters” knocks it out of the ballpark with
providing an introduction of a young child’s character and development. The benefits to
the children, teachers, parents and community are priceless.
Please let us know if you have any specific questions about the “Characters of
Character.”
Sincerely,
Noreen Stass, Director
LAKE BARRINGTON ACADEMY OF STARS
