Summary

I’m very passionate about teaching and I am very dedicated to help each child to develop the skills to help them get ready for kindergarten. The first years of a child’s learning are the most crucial in a child’s development and building a strong connection with the child and their families helps a child feel like they belong and a sense of purpose.

Accomplishments

I’ve been the lead preschool teacher at Knowledge Tree Early Learning and Childcare for over a year. I implemented my own planning and Dailey schedule for the preschool room. Planned by observing children and their interests within groups or individual through all levels of development.

I have had my daycare room observed and put on the teachers website by watching how I interact with the preschoolers. .
