Dear Stix Families,

 Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year at Stix Early Childhood Center! It is with great joy and enthusiasm that I introduce myself as the principal of this exceptional school community. I am honored to step into this role after serving proudly as Assistant Principal at Stix for the past five years. Prior to that, I spent six wonderful years as a kindergarten teacher, which gave me a deep appreciation for early childhood education and the critical foundation it provides for lifelong learning.

 At Stix, we are committed to laying a strong foundation for every child’s academic, emotional, and social development. We believe in nurturing the whole child, recognizing that true success comes not only from academic achievement but also from a child’s confidence, creativity, well-being, and sense of belonging.

 We also believe that every child can succeed, and we strive to meet them where they are, supporting their growth at a pace and style that is right for them. Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to provide high-quality instruction, loving guidance, and a safe, joyful environment where all students thrive.

 As your principal, my leadership is grounded in servant leadership, collaboration, and equity. I believe in the power of early education and the importance of strong partnerships between home and school. Together, we can ensure that every child receives the care, attention, and opportunities they need to reach their fullest potential.

 You can expect consistent communication, opportunities to be involved, and a welcoming school culture where your voice matters. Thank you for trusting us with your child’s early learning journey. I look forward to working alongside you to make the 2025–2026 school year a truly meaningful and successful one.

Ms. Rebbecca Henderson, Ed.S

Principal
