My philosophy is simple.  I strongly believe that learning should be engaging and enjoyable.  If it is, students will be more motivated to work with a positive attitude and meet high expectations.  In an environment where children are cared for, feel safe to take risks, and are asked to rise to the occasion, they will thrive.  I pride myself on creating the necessary setting for the children in my classes.  I am also a  strong advocate of the parent teacher relationship.  We must work together to ensure the growth in that child.  My philosophy is especially on point after the couple of chaotic years we have had in education and at home.  I am dedicated to providing the emotional and educational support your child needs.  I am available always to meet or talk with parents.  I am confident that your child will have a fabulous year in our class.  Welcome to the journey!
