Philosophy

I will strive to create a fun and inventive, educational atmosphere where children are engaged in
learning and absorbing knowledge from all that is presented during the course of the day. I believe
that students should be encouraged to be independent and think critically to solve problems.
Developing positive self-esteem, building relationships with others, and fostering creativity in the
classroom will allow children to be successful learners.
