I am the oldest of 5 Children and ONLY girl. I am married and have one son.I have always wanted to be a teacher and started my career in education at the age of 18 as a classroom assistant while I completed my degree in Early Childhood Education.

LOVE creating an enriching environment for early learning. Including homemade games, activities and dramatic play!
What are some favorite things about working with young children and/or what keeps you passionate motivated about this field?
I love that we can be a child’s first educational experience . My hopes is that they will flourish in our warm, encouraging and exciting classroom environment and when they think back on their education they will always remember their preschool teachers!
