Principal’s Message

Dr. Amber Block brings 15 years of early childhood experience and a passion for creating safe, connected, and engaging learning environments where every child and adult can thrive.

Dear Bethel Families and Community Members,

Welcome to Bethel Early Childhood Center! It is an honor to lead a school where our youngest learners are welcomed, celebrated, and encouraged to discover all they can do. We believe every child deserves to feel safe, connected, and capable—and every family deserves to feel that they belong.

Early childhood is a time of incredible growth. Through purposeful play, meaningful conversations, hands-on exploration, and intentional instruction, our educators help children develop the academic, social, and emotional skills they need for kindergarten and beyond. We recognize each child’s strengths, interests, language, and experiences as valuable parts of our school family.

Conscious Discipline is at the heart of how we build relationships and support children at Bethel. We understand that behavior communicates a need and that children develop new skills with guidance, practice, and caring adults. Our staff teach children how to identify feelings, solve problems, build friendships, and navigate challenges while nurturing their curiosity and love of learning.

Families are essential partners in this work. You know your child best, and your voice matters. We invite you to share your ideas, ask questions, participate in school events, and stay connected through ParentSquare. Together, we can create a consistent circle of support between home and school.

Thank you for trusting us with your child’s early learning journey. We look forward to learning, growing, and celebrating with you. At Bethel, we’re all in this together!

Warm regards,
Dr. Amber Block
Principal, Bethel Early Childhood Center
