Older Four’s/Bridge Assistant Teacher

What do you like about working with children? Helping young children learn is both a challenge and fun. They are learning how to grow into an education and take the necessary steps to enter elementary school. Each year of pre-school prepares them for their next steps. Watching them light up and be proud of themselves in what they have accomplished at this young age is a beautiful feeling.

How does your background support your work at Bee Loved? Aside from raising three wonderful and amazing adult children of my own, my background of 14 years teaching art to Pre-K & K students has been wonderful. Being a mom to my three kids, I was heavily involved in all levels of their education. Knowing first-hand the stresses that go along with obtaining the best education from pre-school forward has been a solid foundation for me. I understand fully how important it is to have a child ready to enter elementary school.

What is a fact that most people don’t know about you? I began to learn to play flute in 4th grade and continued all the way through high school. It led me to try several other instruments as well, including the piccolo, oboe, saxophone, clarinet and bassoon. The only one I still play a little bit on is the flute, however.
