New School Year for SVCCC Preschool

The staff of the Smoky Valley Child Care Center is preparing for the arrival of their pre-

school students on August 31. Rooms, such as the one shown above, are being set up

for the different age and developmental levels of their preschool. With the exception of

the infants, all of the SVCCC students attend preschool classes. The staff is dedicated

to providing quality instruction and experiences even with the challenges of COVID-19

regulations. Read more on pages 2 and 3.

Preschool Starts Soon at SVCCC

The staff at the Smoky Valley Child Care Center are devoted to

helping our community’s infants, toddlers, and children. Not

only do they provide excellent child care, but they also provide

a place for early child development. Early childhood is the foun-

dation for learning in kindergarten and beyond. The first five

years of a child’s life are crucial due to the brain’s ability to

make connections. During the preschool years, vocabulary

increase, communication skills, and social skills are all devel-

oped which the child takes with them into their school years.

SVCCC is committed to providing the young children of this

community with a quality educational foundation. According to

Andrea French, SVCCC Director, this year’s preschool will

begin on August 31 and will have about 45 kids enrolled. Pre-

school will be offered in every room except the infant room.

The mission of SVCCC is to give preschool aged children the

educational foundation for success later in school. Studies

show that children who have attended preschool are more like-

ly to experience success in school and beyond. Andrea says,

“The focus of our preschool program is to provide a safe, warm

and inclusive environment, while introducing age appropriate

life skills, social skills, self and teacher directed play and kin-

dergarten preparedness.” She continued, “We create a class-

room setting that provides opportunities for the children to be-

come familiar with shapes, letters, colors, numbers, and name

recognition.”

The staff at SVCCC are highly trained educational profession-

als and are specifically trained with techniques to enhance a

child’s physical, social, emotional, cognitive and language de-

velopment. Most of their staff has early childhood credentials or

is working toward them. (See page 3) Each teacher brings indi-

vidual strengths and creativity to their classroom.

COVID-19 has brought some changes to SVCCC. According to

Andrea, she was unsure if preschool was even going to be

allowed to be open. The biggest change, she said, to their

preschool routine will be the drop off and pick up. Before

COVID regulations, parents walked into the building and were

able to have communications with their child’s teachers. Now,

parents will not be allowed inside, restricting the opportunity for

one-on-one conversations with teachers. “Currently, we are

making adjustments in each classroom, so communication will

continue to be a top priority,” Andrea said. “Our families and

their children mean so much to us and we will do whatever it

takes to continue to provide top care and ongoing support,” she

continued. Andrea added that the staff will continue with their

extensive cleaning regimen as well as temperature checks for

students and staff and masks for teachers and parents.

ter is getting ready for their first day of school on August 31.

Young students will learn how to communicate through struc-

tured play and interactive lessons as shown in the photos.

RM Schools Has a New Athletic Director

Round Mountain

Schools has a new

athletic director who

is read to carry on

the Knights legacy

and bring RM ath-

letic through un-

charted waters.

Ryan Saladino is

dedicated to making

sports experiences

meaningful for kids

and their families.

Below is a Q & A

with Ryan.

Tell us a little about yourself.

My name is Ryan Saladino. I’m 30 years old and I was born in

Waco, TX. I moved to Reno, NV my freshman year of high

school. I attended TMCC and GBC for college. I have 3 kids

and have been married for 6 years. I own my own rental busi-

ness here locally. I am currently the president of Round Moun-

tain Youth Athletics, where I coach youth football.

How long have you lived in RM?

Coming up on 8 years. My family and I moved to Round Moun-

tain in the winter of 2012

What motivated you to want to be the athletic director of

RM Schools?

Two things. The kids first and foremost. We have an outstand-

ing group here. I see them at all levels K-12. They want sports.

I also see a small town school that has so much potential. You

see other small towns, like ours, across America that have out-

standing sports programs, communities, sell-out crowds. That’s

here in the valley, too. I just have to provide an experience that

people want to be a part of.

What are your experiences running sports teams or pro-

grams?

Though I’ve played multiple sports throughout my life, I am

fairly new to running entire programs. I started a youth pro-

gram, with a board, last year overseeing football, cheer, wres-

tling, and baseball that was extremely successful and eventual-

ly led me here. But I see that as a positive. I don’t come in with

a “I know everything” mindset. I get to grow with our programs.

Experience what works for our school and what doesn’t.

Whereas if I was coming from another program, with different

needs, I may not understand RMHS and what makes it unique.

What are your goals as AD this year?

Just take a step in the right direction. Like so many other

things in life, your first impression will be your foundation. I get

one shot to show I have something worth investing in, long-

term. Can we create a culture here that rings throughout the

community? Current parents, coaches, athletes are who I need

to convince immediately. They can set the tone for the future

What will be some challenges?

In year one? Covid-19 mostly, but another challenge is getting

our current athletes to buy in to what I’m selling. They may just

be ready to move on from their high school careers. I want

them to slow down that thought process and enjoy their youth.

Not everyone will agree, but high school has the potential to be

one of the best memories of your life.

What will be some rewards?

Though it may seem like a cliché answer, there is nothing

more rewarding than watching youth athletes fall in love with

sports and the excitement they get from it. Ask anyone in-

volved in youth programs and they’ll tell you that knowing you

made a positive influence in a child’s life is one of the most

rewarding feelings on the planet that some people can never

truly understand.

What do you most look forward to as AD?

So many things. Getting to know the staff here at the schools,

making a difference in the youths’ lives, seeing the end result

of what we started on the youth level this past year, giving the

student athletes memories to look back on later and be proud

of. The list goes on and on. Like I stated earlier the potential

here is outstanding.

What message do you want to send to the community?

I’m here to stay. In the past we’ve seen amazing things creat-

ed and the person involved moves to another town or drops

the program once their child isn’t in it anymore. I’m here to

create something bigger than myself. A culture that can’t be

broken by losing one administrator, athlete, or coach. None of

this is possible without the support of the community though.

My door is always open and my phone is always on. My num-

ber is 775-229-6567. My email is [email protected]. I

want to hear from parents and athletes on what they want to

see. Is it cheer programs implemented? Wrestling? Certain

foods in concession stands? Facilities? It all matters.
