Aloha I am Jessica, Family Support Specialist. I was a Waldorf Early Childhood Teacher for 7 years, including having my own licensed daycare here on Maui. I have worked in many settings, including homes, schools, as well as running outdoor nature forest camps for young children. I am attentive and nurturing. My focus is low on digital media, high on social, emotional, relational skills, imaginative play, healthy lifestyle. I have a background in psychology, mindfulness meditation, art, nutrition, and counseling. I coach parents on empowering parenting dynamics, to get collaboration with kids rather than using outdated modes of power dynamics that don't honor the feelings and needs of everyone.
