Our Teachers
Hello! Im Destiny and I have an Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education and Family Studies. I also have a Bachelors Degree in Early Childhood and Family Studies. I am currently a Prek 4 Teacher in a Public School and After school Coordinator. I am certified in infant CPR and First Aid. I have over 19 years of experience in childcare. I enjoy building relationships with my current and former students that I have taught. I enjoy building a loving and caring foundation for children.
Philosophy
A key word in my program is respect. I foster respect for self, respect for others, and respect for materials in developmentally appropriate ways. In a secure and nurturing environment, my curriculum provides for all areas of a child’s development: physical, emotional, social, and cognitive. I believe that children learn through active exploration and interaction with adults, other children, and materials. As a Teacher I encourage curiosity and experimentation, and have chosen materials that help expand children’s thinking. Basic learning materials include sand, water, and tools to use with them, large and small blocks, puzzles, dramatic play props (dress-up clothes, puppets), items for scientific investigation (magnets, balances, and weights), computers, books, cd’s, musical instruments, art and drawing supplies, and climbing structures with slides. Positive social interaction is encouraged by helping children to develop their verbal skills and to express their feelings in appropriate ways I recognize that the child is an individual as well as a member of a larger unit, his/her family. Strong, viable parent/teacher relationships promote effective communication and participation. I work closely with parents for the benefit of the child and I include the families in the curriculum and special events.
As a home based childcare, I welcome and encourage parent participation in all aspects of my program. From sharing important family and cultural information with me, to joining your child for dinner , your support is greatly appreciated.
