What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to nurture children's development while fostering a collaborative and supportive environment.

As a dedicated preschool teacher with over three years of experience, I have developed a passion for fostering a safe and engaging learning environment for young children. My role at ECYC has allowed me to establish and enforce rules of behavior while adapting teaching methods to meet diverse learning styles. I take pride in building positive relationships with both children and parents, ensuring that each child feels valued and supported.

Prior to my teaching career, I gained valuable experience in various roles, including as a medical receptionist and assistant manager at Dunkin Donuts. These positions honed my organizational skills and ability to communicate effectively with both colleagues and clients. I am detail-oriented and possess strong technical skills, which I leverage to create enriching activities and maintain a safe classroom environment.
