Hello :) my name is Candace, and one of my many passions is working with kids! I have over 10 years of experience working in professional capacities directly with children and families. My philosophy of care is congruent with that of a Montessori approach; that learning should be fun, interactive, and guided by what naturally interests a child. My desire in working with kids is to provide opportunity for a child to feel safe to explore and encouraged to grow, as well as to enrich their experience of their world. And my aim in working with families is always to come alongside as a support to strengthen the family unit! I’m kind, friendly, gentle, approachable, and truly a child at heart :)
