TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have spent the past 12 years teaching primarily in preschool/school readiness classes ages 3-5yrs along with Early Childhood Family Education classes. My focus the past few years has been working with our districts 4-5yr olds in our 2 day all day program and have loved it!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I love to create more hands on activities for my students to use in both large and small group activities. We love to have fun and keep our bodies moving through music and dance.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

The best honors/awards as a teacher are all of the thank you cards you receive from current and previous parents thanking you for everything you have done for their child.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I have a degree in Child and Family Studies and a Prek-3rd Grade license.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Along with all of my "school kids" I also have 3 children of my own, ages 8, 5 and 2 1/2. Between school and home, life is busy but everyday brings a new adventure!
