Bowers and I am 37 years old. I have been in the business of providing childcare and preschool for over 15 years now, and I am continuously interested and involved in the study and theories of childhood development.
As the mother of 3 (2 of which are teenagers), I have many years of experience with children. I look for ways to put these experiences and theories into practice on a day-to-day basis and my family always supports my efforts to run a business from our home.
I have been caring for children in my home since 1997. Prior to opening my home to childcare and preschool, I volunteered and worked in Daycares, preschools, and Child Development Centers for several years.
I have completed a number of courses and workshops pertaining to children and child care and I continue to take workshops regularly to further my education.
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.
