What do you like about early childhood?
The thing I love most about being in early childhood is the relationships we build with families. We are not just taking care of children, we are caring for families. We are a school family.
What is your favorite children’s book?
Oh there are so many to pick! When I was a toddler teacher I loved reading the Llama Llama series to my class. As a mom, my kids and I loved reading The Little Blue Truck series.
In my free time, I love to travel and experience new things. I enjoy being outside when the weather is nice; paddle boarding, rollerblading, snowboarding, ice-skating, sitting by a fire. I also enjoy spending time with my dog, Bentley, and my partner, Jack. Taking each day as its own new adventure is something I am learning to do.
