My name is Torrie Bowers and I am 34 years old. I have been in the business of providing childcare and preschool for over 14 years now, and I am continuously interested and involved in the study and theories of childhood development. As the mother of three, I look for ways to put those theories into practice on a day-to-day basis. In the classroom, my priorities are to foster self-concepts and strong socialization between children and adults. Along with self-guided discovery and open-ended activities, I believe these are basic to a child’s success and academic achievement in the subsequent years. I hope to encourage this through a variety of physical and quiet activities, explorations and lots of play, play, play.
