My Students

Smiling, listening, moving and learning! I teach exceptional, energetic preschoolers who are three to five years old to get them ready for Kindergarten and beyond.

My students come from diverse backgrounds and all share the fact that their families' incomes are at or below the federal poverty level.

They all qualify for free early childhood education through the Head Start program.

I love that my students listen so attentively and participate so actively in all the learning we do together.

My Project

Your generous donation to my project - Financial Capabilities for Me & My Family - will provide my preschoolers with a foundation in important financial concepts. My students will learn about needs versus wants, sharing, money shapes and sizes, how we use money, and saving money in a bank.

We incorporate a whole-family approach to learning about Financial Capabilities!

I will utilize the PNC Bank's For You, For Me, For Later curriculum along with the wonderful books and materials your donation purchases. The curriculum provides information and resources for parents and caregivers too. My students can reinforce their learning at home with their families through interactive, fun activities.
