I have been working with children for 21 years. I have an associates degree in early childhood, a bachelor's degree in early childhood education and my master's degree in early childhood education with an emphasis in curriculum and instruction. This is my 2nd year as a 1st grade teacher and I taught kindergarten for 3 years. I am certified to teach up to 3rd grade. Previously I worked as a head start teacher working with 3-5 year olds. I really enjoy spelling, reading and writing, but I am experienced with math as well. My teaching philosophy is that all children are individuals and they learn at their own pace and their own way. I'm looking forward to working with my new clients.
