Candice Hardy

I've supported students with diverse needs as a SPED Para at Northeast Elementary School, assisting special education teachers with individualized education plans, learning activities, and one-on-one academic and social support.

Previously, as a preschool teacher at Central's Children Center, I developed age-appropriate curriculum and activities that promoted children's social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development.

I foster positive, inclusive classrooms through effective communication with children, families, and colleagues. I also assess progress, support individual learning needs, and help maintain strong classroom environments.

With a B.S. in Early Childhood Development from Purdue Global University, I bring knowledge of child development, curriculum design, parent engagement, behavior management, and observational techniques. I'm passionate about making a meaningful impact through collaborative, engaging teaching strategies.
