What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to lead and innovate in early childhood education, fostering a nurturing environment while collaborating with families and staff.

I am a dedicated and experienced Early Childhood Educator with over 18 years of hands-on experience in fostering a positive and enriching learning environment for young children. My proven expertise lies in developing and implementing age-appropriate curricula that promote cognitive, social, and emotional development. I have a strong ability to build trusting relationships with children, families, and colleagues, ensuring a collaborative and inclusive atmosphere.

Throughout my career, I have held various leadership roles, including serving as a Preschool Principal and Center Director, where I managed large teams and oversaw the education of hundreds of students. I am passionate about instilling a love for learning in children and preparing them for future academic success. My commitment to maintaining high standards of education is reflected in my adherence to DHS regulations and NAEYC guidelines, ensuring that every child receives the best possible care and education.
