My Philosophy
I’m a fun energetic teacher who loves singing. I love helping and guiding little ones to learn and grow independently. Enjoy spending as much time as possible outside actively playing.
My Environment
Our home space is unique, featuring a cozy classroom setup with an individual sleep area. I love to rotate toys, ensuring a variety of options including open-ended toys to spark imagination. We have a large bookshelf because we love reading, and we regularly visit the library to find new books.
For indoor play on rainy days, we have a small trampoline and a Pikler set. Outside, we enjoy a spacious backyard garden with a swing set, basketball hoop, water table, sand pit, and other little treasures.
My Training
I hold the Graduate Diploma in Early Childhood (Level 7) and I have a current first-aid certificate.
