Personal Background:
Before starting my career at North Wall about 8 years ago, I was a stay-at-home mom of my two children, Jaylin and Jaysen. Beyond these years of experience, I also hold a BA in Children’s Studies from Eastern Washington University. I began working at Northwest Autism Center as a certified and registered Behavior Technician about a year ago. I wanted to further educate myself in other ways I can help children grow. When not in the classroom, I love to spend time outdoors challenging myself by hiking, camping, and backpacking with my children. Educating children is a high priority for me, so when I’m not devoting my time to my children at home, I am devoting it to yours!
Teaching Philosophy:
My philosophy of education is that all children are unique and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. It is my desire to create this type of atmosphere where students can meet their full potential. I will provide a safe environment where students are invited to share their ideas and take risks. I choose to promote respect, personal independence, and overall, just being kind humans to help make our community a place we are proud to be a part of.
Goals for the Class:
- To foster an environment of personal independence while continually encouraging the children to voice their thoughts and opinions.
- To provide an assortment of activities and materials to promote physical, social, emotional, creative, and cognitive growth
- To make every child to feel welcome when they arrive, safe when they are at school, and loved when they leave, so we can do it all again.
- To make families feel welcome and keep open lines of communication to help their children challenge themselves and reach their full potential.
