I have a passion for working with children that extends beyond twelve years of formal experience in early childhood programs. Reading has been one of my favorite hobbies since grade school and I have grown to want to share that interest with as many young children as I can. Creating exciting music, movement, and art experiences is also important to me in my planning and curriculum implementation. I believe in the value of nurturing children, encouraging their imaginations, building up their self-worth, and teaching them interpersonal skills.
