Hi friends! My name is Areecia and I’m a Kindergaten teacher at Easthampton Public Schools. Working with children is truly my passion! I have 10 years of professional experience working with children and 4 years of teaching experience. I have experience working with both children with disabilities and children with challenging behaviors. I believe I have the skills and dedication to provide a fun, safe and nurturing environment for your child! My patient, caring, and loving nature allows me to connect with children on a deep level and understand their individual needs. I am able to maintain open lines of communication with parents, using their preferred method, be it verbal communication at pickup or regular updates via text or phone call. Whether it's outdoor activities, educational support, or board games, I'm always up for fun and engaging activities that promote learning and development! With my college degree in Early Childhood Read more Education, CPR and First Aid certification, and deescalation trainings, I'm well-equipped to handle any situation that may arise. I hope I get a chance to meet you and your family, and be a welcoming helping hand!
