11+ years in Early Childhood, 3 years in public school setting

My approach to teaching is founded upon child-centered, developmentally appropriate practices that factor in the whole child. High expectations and challenges are important for children's growth and development, but children can rise to those challenges in the context of authentic relationships.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Visual Arts. I taught for three years in the public school setting: 5th grade high ability once and 3rd grade high ability twice. As a school teacher, I worked in an International Baccalaureate-accredited school.

I have worked in the field of Early Childhood for over 11 years. I have done everything from being an assistant teacher in a special education preschool classroom and in a full day classroom with children of varying abilities and in a kindergarten readiness classroom. I was a lead teacher in a visual arts summer camp at a preschool, and I now teach as an Infant and Toddler Specialist.
