Summary
I have over five years of experience working with children in educational and childcare settings. My background includes leading classrooms, planning and implementing age appropriate curriculum, fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment. I’ve worked with children of various age groups from infants to pre-k students and am especially skilled in creating hands on learning activities that promote development in literacy, math, science and social-emotional skills. I am cpr and first aid certified, patient, creative, and deeply committed to helping children grow academically and emotionally. I also incorporate art, music, and sensory play into daily routines to keep learning fun and effective! My experience has taught me the importance of individualized instruction, consistent communication with families, and positive behavior reinforcement strategies. I have also received national teacher of the month!
