Preschool Director and Teacher I was a preschool-kindergarten teacher in Hungary for three years. In my first three years in California I had my degree evaluated while I was working as a nanny. I have worked in many different preschools with diverse families. After obtaining my Site Supervisor Permit I started to work as a Preschool Director at Delphi Academy. I had the honor to start their preschool program and filled up two classrooms within 1.5 years. My philosophy is to provide the proper learning environment for the children, so they can learn through play. I believe that children need structure and well-defined limits to learn, to respect others, and to feel secure in their environment. My foreign studies had been evaluated by ACEI. I have 85 United States Semester Units in Early Childhood Education. I am qualified to teach music with KODALY method for preschoolers and kindergartners. I am Read more also qualified to hold gymnastics for preschoolers and kindergartners. I received my Child Development Site Supervisor Permit from the State of California Commission on Teacher Credentialing on January 20th, 2009. I have been teaching as a preschool teacher in California since 2004. I am applying for my Director Permit in the near future. I am Adult/Child/Infant CPR and First Aid certified. I love working with children. I have a very loving and nurturing personality. I am familiar with Waldorf, Montessori, Reggio and RIE approach
