Our Teachers
Ajasha enjoys working with diverse communities and education. Ajasha has served her community as a math and Preschool teacher for three years. 5, she realized her dream of having her own in-home childcare program after the birth of her second daughter. Her favorite thing about what she does is developing relationships with the children that she teaches and their families. She believes that small class sizes and the development of a strong community allow her and her team to really know each child individually and provide a solid and supportive foundation in the early years.
Philosophy
I believe that all students regardless of race, religion, ability or background should be given effective, and equitable learning in a safe environment. They deserve an adult that welcomes them with a smile and a clean slate each day. My philosophy will include self regulation, self advocacy, self correction, and self reflection. My mission is to find the ways students learn best and use them while teaching them new skills to learn. I will honor my belief that students must take ownership of their learning by giving choices in my safe environment. I also make sure my lessons include the work of the students or at times students from the past. The students are taught techniques that help them learn and are encouraged to ask questions. Our class model is Honor the struggle because mistakes help us learn. My goal is to connect with my students and to help my students be independent learners and in control of their experience. I want to ensure that my students have the tools to be great humans inside and outside the classroom.
