I'm most passionate about the people: parents, children, staff. I come to work each day excited to meet people where they are and provide the best education possible for their child. I believe in learning through play and enjoy jumping into activities in each of the classrooms and seeing all that my teachers are able to share with the students!

Quote:
Being around children warms my heart and makes me happy to know that I am setting an example to every child I meet and nurturing them to grow to be the best that they can be. I love coming to work every morning to be welcomed by sweet smiles from each child. I see every day as another opportunity to help each child learn ad explore something new. I believe children learn things while they are having fun. And to be able to make each child laugh, smile and respond to whats being taught from rhymes.
