Summary
As a professional registered early childhood educator (RECE), I have nearly 7 years of experience working with children aged 0-12 years old. I am experienced in planning, implementing, and delivering inclusive play-based learning programs, and skilled in developing culturally and developmentally appropriate curricula. I am proficient in implementing anti-bias education to promote diversity and acceptance among children. With a strong ability to integrate individual plans (IPs) into daily routines and establish structured schedules with clear transition periods, I am capable of facilitating children's development and behavior through nurturing guidance. Additionally, I have experience consulting with specialists and professionals to provide additional support as needed.
