Sonja Lawrence

Teaching and caring for children in a academic based preschool program. I teach a 3 hour program in the morning as well as a 3 hour program in the afternoon. We follow a district provided curriculum for math and literacy. I help children build their social/emotional skills, make sure the room is clean and monitor the safety of all the students. I work hard to promote a positive classroom environment, fostering respect, empathy, and teamwork among students.
