Summary
I am an experienced lead teacher with a solid background in an educational, several-year career (10+). It is my goal and responsibility to create a loving, nurturing, and safe environment for all children. I create and implement developmentally-appropriate lesson plans that target and promote social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development of each child. I am seeking a career working with four- or five-year-olds. I am planning to begin my Bachelor's Degree in Birth-Kindergarten in the Fall of 2024 where, after completion, want to work as a lead preschool teacher or kindergarten teacher.
