I have been a licensed childcare provider for 33 years, 15 years in Virginia Beach, licensed in New York for 17 years prior, and currently hold a licensed in Chesapeake. I am a mother of four (34,32,25,23) and a grand to one (4). I homeschooled my two youngest. I am bilingual and can teach Spanish or English. I focus on providing a smooth transition from home to school, believing children should not have to adapt to a school setting too early. I am a huge fan of learning through play. With a B.A and background in GED and afterschool programs, journalism, and drama coaching, I enjoy working with children of all ages.
