Summary
With 6 years of experience, I have a track record of fostering child development and literacy skills at several different schools and preschools. I excel in creating meaningful and purposeful relationships with children and families. Additionally, I ensure they are making frequent academic progress, while practicing social and emotional skills that can help them succeed in life. I saw how these skills help children throughout my years teaching, and saw improvements in reading comprehension and problem solving. I plan to carry these skills in my future career and I am eager to work with children and their families to help them achieve personal and academic goals.
