My first baby doll sits on a shelf in my bedroom. She was so well-loved that her blonde curls are now a bad comb-over/mohawk. Sure, there are prettier things I could display in her place, but she was the first of many dolls, children, pets, elderly, students, and friends for whom I cared. Luckily not everyone ended up with a mohawk! I'm a teacher at heart (MA in Urban Education, Clark Univ., Worcester, MA. 1998). I can’t help myself. I love learning. I love helping others learn. And even better? I love helping others learn to love learning. I have a major soft spot for kids, especially little ones, and animals. A typical day with kids from about a year old and older includes singing, dancing, laughing, role-playing, art, outside time... Play time, both structured and unstructured. But can easily adapt to the schedules that have already been set and/or Read more the needs to be met.
