Three years ago, I transitioned into preschool education to broaden my experience and deepen my understanding of how young minds grow through play, exploration, and creativity. Every step of this journey has shaped not only my teaching but also the kind of mother and lifelong learner I strive to be.

About the store

Experience

For the past eight years, I’ve had the joy of working with children of all ages — starting with infants and toddlers, where I learned just how powerful early connections and curiosity can be. Three years ago, I transitioned into preschool education to broaden my experience and deepen my understanding of how young minds grow through play, exploration, and creativity. Every step of this journey has shaped not only my teaching but also the kind of mother and lifelong learner I strive to be.

Teaching style

My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that the best learning happens through play. I love creating experiences where children can explore, imagine, and discover without the need for flashcards or worksheets — just simple, meaningful play. I see play as the bridge between teaching and connection, where both educators and parents can truly bond with children. It’s the way learning was always meant to be — joyful, hands-on, and filled with moments that spark curiosity and confidence.

Awards & shining teacher moments

Over the years, I’ve received many thoughtful thank-you and holiday cards from families I’ve had the joy of teaching. While I never expect gifts or recognition, the kind words shared in those notes mean more to me than anything else. Each message is a reminder of the connections we build, the trust we share, and the impact that comes from teaching with heart. Those simple, heartfelt words are my favorite “awards” — and they continue to inspire me every day.

My own education history

I currently hold a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential in Preschool, with my first CDA earned in Infants and Toddlers. While I’m proud of my formal training, I’ve found that the most valuable lessons have come from hands-on experience — learning directly alongside the children I teach every day. Their curiosity and growth have been my greatest teachers.
