Professional Goal: To create a nurturing and inclusive early childhood classroom that fosters children’s cognitive, social, and emotional development. I aim to build strong, positive relationships with children, families, and colleagues while providing engaging learning experiences that support each child’s growth and success.

Statement of Philosophy: Building strong, respectful partnerships with children and families is essential to fostering children’s development and well-being. I am committed to collaborating with families to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment. Through trust, respect, and shared decision-making, I aim to build lasting partnerships that enhance children’s growth and learning experiences.

About Me: As a mature student with prior classroom experience, I bring a unique perspective shaped by both past and present educational philosophies. Having worked in a classroom years ago, I can appreciate how much has evolved while recognizing the foundational principles that remain unchanged. It is exciting to merge my experience with the knowledge I’ve gained in Human Development and Family Science, collaborating with current students and future educators who share my passion for early education and supporting families.
