Hi, My name is Lauren! I love working with kids and have spent the last five years working as a preschool teacher on and off while I attended Western. I just graduated with my bachelor's of multidisciplinary studies with a theme of education and culture. I was two-quarters away from getting my BAE in Early childhood education when life threw some curve balls. Most of my professional experience is with little ones ages 2-5 but I also have a fair amount of experience with infants and babies younger from as young as 5 weeks. I have a variety of certifications required for these jobs although some may be expired by a year or so. I also have experience with individuals aged 2 to 22 with various physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities as well as children with mental disorders. Feel free to contact me with any questions! :)
