Teaching and caring for young children has been my passion in life, which is why I attained my masters degree in Early Education and Credentials in Montessori. I am certified to teach preschool in the State of Hawaii and have in the past taught high school and preschool. I have experience working at conferences in Hawaii as the childcare coordinator where I planned and implemented activities that are fun, educational and cultural for children ranging from ages 5 to 16 years. My strengths include compassion for children, strong communication with parents, and integrity both in my personal and professional communities. I speak English and Hawaiian and have taught hundreds of children (from around the world) to dance hula, sing in Hawaiian and do Hawaiian crafts. My educational philosophy is that a child is like precious lei or garland to be cherished and allowed to blossom.
