Work History

Early Childhood Development Teacher

Goddard School
06.2025 - Current


As an early childhood educator, I created safe, nurturing, and engaging learning environments for children from infancy through age eight. My work integrated developmentally appropriate instruction, caregiving, observation, and family partnership to support each child’s cognitive, language, physical, social, and emotional growth.

Through purposeful play, exploration, movement, art, music, stories, and conversation, I designed inclusive learning experiences responsive to children’s individual abilities, interests, cultures, languages, and developmental stages. I also built respectful, reciprocal relationships with families by communicating progress, understanding each child’s home context, and connecting caregivers with appropriate community resources.
