Early childhood is important because it is the basis of setting up the foundation for the next generation. As an educator, they play a big part in the development of each child. It is important that they are offered support and guidance as they support the children in achieving each milestone.

“Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” -Proverbs 22:6

-Provide Coaching in Quality Environments, Teacher-Child Interactions and Reflective Practice
-Provide Supports in Building Capacity and Awareness for Self-Reflection
-Coordinate, Facilitate, Coach EQIT

Why did I choose to work in the Early Childhood field?

My Early Childhood Educational journey began over 25 years ago. Interacting with young children has always been a gifted skill of mine. I love the curiosity, ideas, presence, humor, love, and honesty children bring to interactions, naturally, and I always learn much about myself when hanging out with children. The Early Childhood Profession is important to me because I believe being part of the facilitation of learning for children is one of the MOST important and rewarding journeys, I’ve been fortunate to travel in this life, and I truly cherish every moment I spend with children.

Why did I choose to work in the Early Childhood field?

I chose to work in the Early Childhood field because I enjoy working with young children and early childhood teachers. My experience and education in the early childhood field, for over 25 years, has taught me this is the most important learning time in a child’s life. Therefore, providing young children with positive learning experiences during these years, increases their success in school and throughout life. The teachers who work with these children need continued education and support so they can provide the best learning environment for each child to succeed.

“Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning.” – Mr. Rogers

-Quality improvement
-Quality rating preparedness

Why did I choose to work in the Early Childhood field?

I have chosen to work in the Early Childhood field when I was on the parent committee and volunteered in my 2 boys Head Start classes. I really enjoyed watching what the teachers were teaching and how my boys learned. It all made sense! I then was offered a position and from there it all took off for me as I completed my AA and then continued to receive my BA while I was working full time and raising children. The quality care they received and learning experience they got made them who they are today. I also attended Head Start as a child myself so that has had a positive impact on me. After 27 years in the Early Childhood field, I have seen great things happen and I strive to continue to provide support for quality care and positive experience to families.
