Philosophy

I believe that children LEARN through play.

Play is a context for learning that:

  1. Allows for the expression of personality and uniqueness,

  2. Enhances dispositions such as curiosity and creativity,

  3. Enables children to develop relationships and concepts, and

  4. Stimulates a sense of well-being

I think it’s critical to get to know the kids I work with. Every kid enters a childcare or educational institution with different talents, preferred learning styles, and past information that they have acquired from a variety of learning experiences. By utilizing their own learning preferences and strengths, each student can cultivate a positive attitude toward learning and become a self-assured and motivated learner.
