About

I firmly believe play is the way children learn. It is not only fun for them, but it’s where they can learn about themselves, the people around them, their environments, and build skills needed for the big world! My teaching philosophy is built upon a developmentally appropriate play-based learning environment! I’m proud to be the director and teacher at the 5-Star Step Up To Quality preschool at Countryside YMCA|Landen!
