BS from Cornell University in Child Development plus Graduate Assistant at U of I Child Development Lab. Experienced teacher / caregiver will bring peace of mind to you and loving care to your children. Having raised a household of bright, happy kids into young adulthood, I enjoy helping other children develop into their full potential. I also have many years experience teaching early childhood music & movement. I'm very interactive with the children in my care by encouraging outdoor play and physical activity, promoting reading and literacy, and fostering the development of social and cognitive skills by exploring the world around them. Most importantly, I believe in learning through play.
