What do you like about early childhood?
The children of course!!! The happiness that I feel when a child has reached a new milestone or has successfully mastered a new skill has not diminished during the 35 years I have worked with children. The joy on their faces, the hugs, the questions, their thirst for knowledge, and the exuberance they have for everything. There are so many reasons to love early childhood.
What makes your school unique?
The family atmosphere…We are a small center that feels warm and inviting. With being a smaller center, we are able to really form bonds with the families. Many of our staff have been here for over 15 years.
What is your favorite children’s book?
“Love You Forever”, “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, “Oh, The Places You’ll Go!”, and “The Giving Tree”

They interact with every single child on an individual level, and are aware of each child’s needs, making them feel warm and special. I feel safe and secure knowing my children are in great hands when I leave them at school every day.
