My goal for the children is for them to develop the self confidence and ethics needed to become a productive member of society by providing them with a loving, fun, safe and caring environment in which to learn these skills in.
Ever since I was in Preschool, I knew I wanted to teach. I loved seeing the excitement that would build when the teacher was working with us and the joy we felt when we achieved our goal. The pride I felt in my accomplishments and those of the kids around me marked the point I knew what I wanted to do for my career. As I continued to work on my education, I came to work with children in the before and after school setting. While working with these children I felt fueled by the same excitement I have felt as a child and knew this was where I belonged.
