We love teaching kindergarten! We enjoy seeing the excitement in the
children's eyes when they learn something new. Every school year we have a
mission to get as many parents involved in the classroom as possible. This
can be in the form of helping with folders, assisting at a center, taking
stuff home to cut or even shopping for an upcoming party or activity.
Whether you can volunteer daily or help on a field trip during the school
year; we truly look forward to partnering with you in your child's education.
Our philosophy of education is child centered. We believe in children learning
by active engagement in my classroom. In a typical day children will engage
in all types of meaningful reading, math and science activities. All
learning centers are hands on and open ended. This allows students to learn
at their own pace. our goal is that all of the students will leave daily
excited about learning!
