I am thrilled to be a part of the Big Pine State Preschool family.
My journey with Big Pine State Preschool began as a parent and continued as an educator. I have been in the eraly childhood field for over four years, one of those years as a Lead Teacher.
I am currently working towards my Associate of Science degree in Early Childhood Development. I couldn’t be more excited to guide and inspire young learners as they explore, grow, and discover new things every day.
Teaching has always been a passion of mine. I believe that young children learn best through play, creativity, and hands-on experiences. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming classroom where children feel safe, valued and excited to learn.
