Educational Philosophy:
-
I believe that young children learn best in a setting that provides both the stability of a predictable rhythm in a familiar environment, and the opportunity for growth that comes with new challenges and the chance to engage with materials in a creative way.
-
I strive to create a classroom culture of kindness and empathy, encouraging a cohesive community in which children feel included, accepted, and cared for.
