Philosophy
Every child is unique and I believe that success and growth comes from encouragement and praise. I focus on building every child’s self-esteem and confidence through positive feedback and, I nurture their neutral strength. A child sees the world around them with wonder and awe and I believe in encouraging their natural curiosity.
