Every morning, as the sun begins to rise and the world stirs awake, Lamis Osman's day begins with a ritual of warmth and connection. As the director of Montessori Kids Universe in Long Valley, New Jersey, Lamis embodies a spirit of compassion and dedication that permeates every aspect of her role.
Her day starts with a meticulous inspection of the school, ensuring that every corner is safe and ready to welcome the eager faces of her students. Lamis personally ensures that the building is pristine, conducting thorough checks of the classrooms, bathrooms, and playgrounds. It's a routine that speaks to her commitment to excellence and the well-being of her school community.
After completing her morning inspection, Lamis delves into the heart of her administrative duties. Reviewing and updating the daily schedule, she meticulously plans each moment of the day to maximize learning and engagement. Communication is key, and Lamis ensures that every staff member is informed and supported, addressing any immediate needs or concerns that may arise.
But it's not just about the logistics; it's about setting the tone for a day filled with positivity and possibility. With a warm smile and a welcoming presence, Lamis greets parents and children alike, infusing the school with a sense of warmth and belonging. It's these moments of connection that truly illuminate her passion for her role as director, laying the foundation for a day of growth and discovery for each and every child.
One of Lamis's guiding principles as a director is the importance of hands-on involvement. Drawing from her background as a teacher, she understands the challenges her staff faces and is committed to offering unwavering support. Whether it's stepping in as an assistant for the day or simply lending a listening ear, Lamis ensures that her teachers feel valued and supported.
But perhaps what sets Lamis apart is her unwavering dedication to fostering a sense of connection within her school community. Building relationships with parents and students is not just a duty for Lamis; it's a joy and a privilege. One of her favorite stories from teaching involves a little girl named Emma. One day, during art time, Emma decided to create a "magic tree" with paint and glitter. When Lamis asked her about her creation, Emma explained that the tree had special leaves that could make everyone happy and grant wishes. She then handed Lamis a glittery leaf and said, "This one's for you, so you'll always smile." Emma's kindness and imagination touched Lamis's heart and reminded her of the pure joy and creativity children bring into our lives every day. Witnessing the growth and development of each child, like Emma, fills Lamis with immense pride and fulfillment, knowing that she plays a vital role in shaping their futures.
Outside of her role as director, Lamis finds solace and joy in family time. Whether it's enjoying a leisurely dinner at home or basking in the sun at the beach, she cherishes every moment spent with her loved ones.
Becoming a childcare director has been a journey of personal growth and discovery for Lamis. Through the challenges and triumphs, she has learned the true meaning of compassion, resilience, and love. Each day presents new opportunities for learning and growth, and Lamis embraces them with open arms.
As Lamis continues to nurture the hearts and minds of the children in her care, she remains steadfast in her commitment to creating a supportive and nurturing environment where every child can thrive. It's a calling she embraces wholeheartedly, knowing that she is making a positive difference in the lives of those she touches.
