Hi I’m Tara! I am very experienced with children. I have been working at SUMC Preschool in Stratford for the past 4 years. I am the head teacher of the one year old classroom but I have past experience in all of the classrooms: infants, two year olds, three year olds, and four year olds. I am CPR and first aid certified. I have taken courses to administer medications such as epi-pen or an inhaler. I also have been a student at Southern Connecticut University for the past 3 years, studying elementary education. I look forward to hearing from you! :)
