Summary

For the past eleven plus years I have been a lead preschool and toddler teacher at The Village Preschool in Phoenix, Arizona. I have worked with young children on their social skills, letter and number recognition and assisting to their individual needs. Fostering a calm and positive atmosphere in the classroom and having good classroom management is very important to me. I want the student to go home feeling happy and positive in their learning environment.
