Sarah M.

Hello! My name is Sarah Montgomery and I am excited to work with you and your family! I live in Ocean Springs where I was born and raised. I absolutely love it here! I'm very laid back and fun loving. My passion in life is working with children and teaching. I have a special bond with all the children I care for. Your children will each have individual time with me and will be treated with love and respect just like at home. I have 13 years of full time experience as a child care provider. I worked all throughout college and in my last semester I was required to student teach. I had no other option but to close my daycare. It was very hard to give up doing something I love so much but I had a goal and that was to finish my degree. I spent that semester teaching preschool and kindergarten in Ocean Springs. It was a great learning experience for me and I discovered many tools to add to my work in child care. I graduated in December 2009 with highest honors and a degree in Child Development. My degree lets me have the options to work in child care, family relations, and teaching. I have taken and passed both tests to apply for teacher certification. I minored in art so I love to teach with an artistic approach. I think children learn best from hands on activities, interaction, socialization, child guided play and teacher guided play. I am CPR/first aid certified. I have worked with all ages of children. I am a non smoker. Please feel free to do a background check if it will give you peace of mind about me caring for your child. I know it is a hard decision to choose someone to leave your child with and I like to make it as easy on the child and the parent as possible. In my care your child will learn socialization, alphabet, colors, numbers, movement, and independence. I teach using art, stories, music, free play, and young child education.
