Summary

I am an enthusiastic and creative individual who loves to insure a safe environment for all children to further develop their education While creating nurturing relationships with both the children and the families. I am a firm believer that all children learn and develop at their own pace and should be encouraged to do so. I believe that sensory play and messy play are the best way to invite and encourage children to involved learners and try new experiences Even if they are unsure.
