Ages of Children: 2-3 years

Personal Background:

I spent several months in the Toddler classroom here at North Wall Schools as part of my work to earn an AA in Early Childhood Education.  I enjoyed the children and families, the welcoming and dedicated staff, and orderly atmosphere, that I agreed to join the Pre-Toddler team as a TA in 2020.  Now, I look forward to growing and learning in Toddlers with your children. My husband, Josh, and I have been married for ten years, though, we’ve known each other since we were children. We enjoy camping and being with friends and family.

Philosophy of Teaching:

I believe children are like little sponges and absorb everything in their own way. I am one of their biggest cheerleaders and will be with them as they strive to new heights. My goal for them is to know that they are never alone in this adventure called life but give them enough independence to become confident in their abilities.  

Goals for the Class:

  • To foster emotional intelligence and independence in all daily activities.  
  • To inspire a love for lifetime learning and exploration by creating centers that are just challenging enough to take them interested and learning.   
  • For them to know I am available for them emotionally, physically, and mentally.
