Darlene Wilson Shue 4601 Avoca St. Fort Worth, TX 76132 817-370-5508 darleneshue@sbcglobal.net PROFILE: As a Montessori teacher with 27 years of experience in early childhood education, I have worked with hundreds of children from infancy through their teenage years. My curriculum includes teaching language, math, geography, history, science, art, and music. In addition, I have cooked for and with children, teaching them much in the process. My specialty lies in listening to and interpreting children’s needs, for being understood is the most important thing to a child. In my many years, I have become adept at establishing ground rules for good behavior, yet still facilitating growth in independence as children age. I have also been recognized and awarded for my child advocacy on the local, state, and national levels.
