Bio
I started professionally working with children in 1999. I have worked as an AuPair, nanny, child care lead teacher and private school preschool teacher before opening my family child care in 2009. Having a family child care is my dream job!
I am proud to offer public PreK through the Aspire program. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Leadership (with focus on children ages 0-5), am trained in CPR and First Aid, and am also the Vice President of Education of Carroll County Family Child Care Association.
In my program, I strive to have an environment where all children feel happy and confident. I believe that young children learn best through play and exploration, which is why I offer a very hands-on program, tailored to the individual needs of the children in my care.
My goal is to prepare each child to fully be ready for kindergarten and beyond in a nurturing and family-like small group environment.
