Summary

I was working in the Preschool Sector for over 10 years. I have had the pleasure and honor with working with Special Education Children. It has taught me that children can learn and flourish when they are provided with a loving and supportive environment. I believe that it takes a village to raise a child and we as educators are part of this group that help to nourish and teach children to live in our society as positive role models for others.
