Personal Background:

After I graduated from Whitworth University, I felt called to work more one-on-one with children, but wasn’t sure where God would lead. I had worked as a nursery supervisor, worked overseas with children, and had been a nanny, among other things. When I started working at North Wall with infants, I quickly learned that I was gifted for this classroom and I loved it! This will be my 7th year working here with infants and pretoddlers.

Philosophy of Teaching:

I believe each child is uniquely created by a loving God. I will love each child and support them in their growth and personality. I will help them grow in their physical, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual development. Our classroom will be full of learning, love, and joy.

Goals for the Class:

•  To work closely with each family’s culture to help foster each child’s development
•  To provide a safe, warm, and fun learning environment
•  To show each child that they are loved, respected, and an important part of our classroom
