Summary

As a passionate believer in play based learning and Children's choice, I strive to provide a positive, inclusive indoor and outdoor program to enrich the daily lives and development of the children in my care. I believe that children are independent humans who have a voice and a choice. My particular interest is messy play and nature. I would love to develop and implement a full time nature program where children are emersed in the natural environment. Learning while doing.
