Introducing me.......

Working with preschool children has been a 17 year journey for me.  It has propelled me from being in the classroom working directly with children to working on behalf of children in administration.  I enjoy working to ensure children have a quality experience in the classroom.  I believe education starts at birth.  I believe parents are their children's first and most influential teachers.  I believe preschool children deserve a teacher that understand child development and is able to prepare the classroom for a diverse group of learners.  I included a picture of myself at age one because this is such an important age for learning.  There is a lot discovery taking place and a critical time of building children's social emotional skills.

I actually established my blog during  another class, so you will see pictures of some my support system including family and friends.  You will see my wonderful husband Tony that continues to support my dreams of making an impact in the early childhood education field.  You will also see my beautiful children and God children that continue to motivate my efforts as an early childhood practitioner.  I'm glad to have you all on my journey to my doctoral degree.
