My experience is primarily with the younger set. Love helping children through the discovery process of learning new skills while enjoying the process. Ages 0-5, 5-10, 10-15. Ran a preschool for several years and have accomplished a considerable amount of preschool educational programming and curriculum on phonics, whole language, and diversity. I like using various modalities – creative activities in movement, crafts, sensory explorations, play, music, and dance! Native fluency in English and Spanish. BA &MA. Love my work, curious, and believe in lifelong learning.
