I have been involved with infants through seniors in high school for over eleven years and I LOVE every minute of it. My goal is to find the strengths of each child and teach accordingly, using their strengths as a tool. I enjoy providing a safe and nurturing environment for all children including my daughter, who has been part of The Goddard School experience since she was the Infant Room and now my son has begun the journey. I enjoy creating long-lasting relationships with each child that enters the School and my life.
