What do you like about early childhood?
Early childhood is that time in a child’s life where their brain is developing at an incredibly rapid pace. We have the opportunity to educate and shape those little minds at such a crucial point in their development. It is astonishing to see how much children learn and grow from the time they start with us in the infant program until the day they graduate from preschool.
What makes your school unique?
When I think of my school, the phrase “small but mighty” comes to mind. We are a smaller school with five classrooms, but we are a strong team that works together to provide the best educational experience for the little people in our care!
What is your favorite children’s book?
“Caps for Sale: A Tale of a Peddler, Some Monkeys, and Their Monkey Business” by Esphyr Slobodkina
