This September, the city of Buncombe is celebrating an incredible educator who has dedicated over 25 years of her life to shaping the minds and hearts of young children. Qundra Suber, a beloved early childhood educator at TC Roberson Learning Lab Preschool, is being awarded the Buncombe Partnership for Children’s September Early Educator Spotlight Award. This recognition is not just a celebration of her long career; it highlights the profound impact she has had on her students and the education community as a whole.
The awards ceremony is set to take place on Monday, September 16th, at 3:15 p.m. at TC Roberson Preschool located at 105 Devon Ln, South Asheville. It promises to be a heartwarming event as the community gathers to honor Ms. Suber’s remarkable contributions. During the ceremony, Buncombe County Schools will also be officially naming the playground after her, a fitting tribute to the countless hours she has dedicated to nurturing young minds.
Qundra Suber has always viewed her work as more than just a job. In her own words, “I try to meet people wherever they are in life and love on them.” This heartfelt approach emphasizes the importance of creating a loving and inclusive environment, where every child feels valued and cared for. Her philosophy resonates well beyond the classroom walls, touching the lives of everyone she encounters.
Amy Motley, the Learning Lab Director, shared her admiration for Suber’s exceptional qualities, stating, “Qundra’s ability to balance high expectations with fun is unparalleled.” This balance is critical in early childhood education as it helps build a strong foundation for children. Suber is known for fostering both independence and a genuine enthusiasm for learning, traits that undoubtedly benefit her students as they transition to elementary school. Moreover, she has taught multiple generations within the same families, leaving a lasting legacy in her community.
The impact of Ms. Suber extends well beyond just her students. Tiffany Hagemeyer, an Early Childhood Specialist at the Buncombe Partnership for Children, noted that “Qundra’s dedication to early childhood education for over two decades has not only shaped countless young minds, but has also inspired a generation of educators.” Her commitment to fostering a nurturing, inclusive environment sets the gold standard for her peers, proving that the influence of a dedicated educator reaches far and wide.
Colleagues and parents alike shine a spotlight on Suber’s amazing contributions to the early childhood community. Many express appreciation for the warm and welcoming atmosphere she creates, which allows children to thrive both academically and emotionally. The recognition through the Early Educator Spotlight Award serves to underscore her invaluable contributions, highlighting not just her talent in teaching but her heartfelt commitment to creating inclusive learning environments.
On the day of the ceremony, in addition to the official naming of the playground, Ms. Suber will also receive a cash prize, a beautifully framed certificate, and celebratory signage. These tokens of appreciation are a small reflection of the enormous impact she has had on the TC Roberson community.
As the day approaches, excitement builds as friends, families, and community members prepare to honor this extraordinary educator. It’s a true celebration of what dedicated teachers bring to the lives of young learners and the lasting impressions they make that carry on for generations.
