I am a stay-at-home mom with a four-year-old and a 2-year-old. I enjoy doing anything outdoors and doing hands-on activities. I believe that children of all ages learn best through hands-on activities and by using their problem-solving skills. I have my associate’s degree in Early Childhood Educator from Southeast Tech in Winona, MN. I also attended Winona State University for my bachelor’s degree.

I believe that childcare should be a safe, caring place where children are free to speak their minds and grow. I believe in creating an enriched environment for children that will benefit their social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. I also want to create an environment that includes the parents’ involvement and feelings. I will use strategies to ensure children help with morning meetings, classroom jobs, and problem-solving skills. I expect children to move at their own pace and if they need help, I will be there to support and guide them.
