I am currently the lead toddler teacher at the Children's Adventure Daycare Center, where I work. I have been here for 1 year and 6 months. I worked a year and 8 months in a family preschool program. A school year at Jewish Community Alliance, Spring Point Children's Center. I have 12 years of experience working with children age 6 weeks to 9 years old. I have my associate degree in early childhood education, first aid and cpr are current. I have participated in 15 hours of professional development this calendar year so far, and 30 last year. I love seeing the world through a child's eye. They learn through play and exploration and it is a great feeling to see children grow and develop and know that I have helped them to do that. Children are special and need love, nurturing and limits to feel secure and safe. I Read more want to help children and families.
