I would just like to say how fortunate and delighted I am to have the opportunity to join the wonderful family at Tiny Explorers! I started my teaching career a little over fifteen years ago and the years have flown by but my passion remains the same! I would have to say my “ah ha” moment was when my son entered preschool; I was a stay-at-home mom and had the opportunity to be involved with his teachers and his early learning years by volunteering in his classroom. I realized during the two years my son was enrolled that I really enjoyed this wonderful time in a child’s life, and I was eager to educate myself so that I could continue this important work. Over the years I have experienced many joys and rewards as a result of working with young children that in my eyes are not measurable, but I can tell you that the sense of fulfillment I get when I plant a tiny seed to take root and begin to expand in meaning in a child’s mind is such a wonderful feeling. I am proud of what I do because in some small way I feel I have paved the way for a child to become stronger and more confident. Children are the future and I have a strong belief in that statement, and an understanding of the “importance” of developing the whole child. I am very excited and looking forward to my future at Tiny Explorers and working with a wonderful group of women in a safe, supportive, nurturing, healthy environment, that focuses on the whole child and encourages the children to wonder, explore and soar!
