Hi, families! feel privileged to be your child’s teacher! I’m a National Board Certified Teacher in the area of Exceptional Needs Specialist. I believe that continuous reflection is key, and we love to find ways to improve! I have worked with preschoolers since 2006, and I especially appreciate this age group of students. As a teacher, I believe in a coaching style that increases self-esteem and promotes independence. We work very hard to develop a caring classroom culture that promotes social skills. I love using music during classroom learning opportunities! I completed my music therapy internship at a school that specialized in using sensory integration techniques (SI) to enrich learning and improve concentration. We will have many opportunities for music and sensory experiences this year! I also love “Project Based Learning” and dramatic play. We use our imaginations as much as possible, and I love to build things with the kids. I am really looking forward to getting to know your family and the unique talents and personality of your child!
