My Students

My students come to school ready to play and learn in a safe and fun environment. In my classroom, my students can explore and grow, while building confidence within themselves. I believe in a hands-on active learning environment and strive to maintain one for my children that attend our full day Pre-K program for ages three through five years old. These children are our future and I am so honored to be able to lend a guiding hand as they begin their path in this world. They are growing and learning with each new experience, obstacle and milestone.

My children are dreamers, thinkers, talkers, and questioners.

They are mini inspirations to themselves and others around them. My children come from hardworking families that want the best for their children. As their teacher, I want to provide them with experiences and opportunities that will expand their knowledge and instill a life long love of learning.

My Project

We are asking for books that teach about diversity, kindness, acceptance and inclusion so our littlest learners can learn about themselves and each other.

"A rainbow of friends is a dream we can share where everyone's treated with kindness and care."

By providing an extensive library with books about diversity, families, kindness, acceptance and inclusion, my kids will be able to relate to the diverse characters and storylines that they may have in their everyday lives. This will add to social interactions as they talk about themselves, their homes and their families. My kids will learn that even though they may look different from one another, they are the same in many other ways!
