By Lessons Learned In Preschool 30+ years experience includes student teaching at a university preschool and a high school, teaching middle school students in a summer school program, teaching high school students for 5 years. This included teaching those students how to run a preschool with 18 preschoolers. I also developed and supervised a vocational internship program, where high school students taught in community preschools and kindergartens. For 27 years I have owned my own preschool and have taught over 1,000 students over the years. I have also worked extensively with children in church, scouting, and as a volunteer in the public schools. I am a mom to 5 children and a grandmother to 14!
I love children! I believe the most important things we can do for them is to instill in them a love of learning, confidence to follow their dreams, and a knowledge that they are loved and important! My preschool teaching style is in line with these values. I believe children need order and predictability in their lives to feel safe and confident, so I do follow a regular schedule, that we modify at times for various activities. I encourage independence and creativity, as well, and feel that children are much smarter and more capable than we often believe! My goal as a preschool teacher is to give them a positive first experience with school!
Scholarships throughout college. Graduated Magna Cum Laude from Utah State University.
I attended public schools in Idaho and Utah K-12. I graduated with Bachelor's Degree in Home Economics Education, with an Early Childhood Education Endorsement from Utah State University. I have attended many continuing education courses in the past 30 years.
I was born the oldest of 7 children, had 5 of my own children, and now have 14 grandchildren, age 8 and under. My entire life has been centered around children! I have been involved with children throughout my adult life, through teaching and leadership positions in my church and the Cub Scout and Boy Scout program. I have been a volunteer in the public schools throughout the time my children were in school in the classroom, on PTA boards, and through volunteering in their extracurricular activities. I have done day care, have my own children's clothing store, and run my own preschool. I love children!
