Accomplishments
As a former preschool teacher, I was committed to a developmentally appropriate program. I still enjoy learning and updating my skill set. I was a Lutheran Schools Association teacher of the year.
As a childcare provider, I believe in following a parent's wishes to the best of my ability. I believe in positive reinforcement. I also understand a young child's development.
As a grandmother I've learned how to use apps that allow a parent to keep track of a child's schedule. I understand that times change regarding raising a child and am always willing to learn and adapt.
