Welcome all Early Childhood Professionals!
"The most crucial role of the early childhood teacher is to help children develop the skills they need to become lifelong learners." Pam Schiller
Welcome all Early Childhood Professionals!
After spending several years in the Early Childhood Education field I sought a job that allows me to use my experience and education to benefit young children and staff of early childhood centers. I decided
to create several seminars in order to aid the preschool curriculum
development and classroom behavioral strategies in Sonoma county and surrounding
communities.
I
have worked in the Child Development
field in a variety of positions from a Teachers Aide to Site Supervisor, Director and Behavioral Specialist with children ages birth through six years old. I
graduated from Sonoma State University in May, 2008 with a Masters
degree in Early Childhood Education: Curriculum, Teaching and
Learning, emphasizing in Child Psychology and recently moved back to Sonoma County this June, 2010.
I am a Board member and committee chair
for the SDAEYC (San Diego Association of Education for Young Children)
and currently possess a Commission on Teacher Credentialing Director
Permit, authorizing me to supervise multiple child care sites.
The
purpose of developing these seminars is to create an opportunity for me
to share my knowledge and expertise in a variety of Early Childhood
areas. Seminars can be given at both home and preschool locations
during day and evening hours. Information in all seminars can be
presented as a consultation meeting to one or two individuals, as a
seminar to a group of up to thirty staff members or as a
parent-education workshop for up to one hundred participants. If there
are more participants then previously stated, then please contact me
and we can work something out. Working together, the early childhood
educational staff can enhance childhood curriculum and the workplace in
the Sonoma County area and beyond.
Thank you for taking the time to explore this website.
