| My teaching philosophy is very much based on supporting the child’s emotional development just as much as their cognitive and physical development. I find myself most drawn towards the Montessori style of teaching, where children are encouraged learn through hands-on activities. Also, creating an inclusive environment where every child feels wanted and accepted is of utmost importance to me. Celebrating differences and similarities between classmates is always encouraged! | My teaching philosophy aligns with Maria Montessori’s philosophy, aspiring for children to learn in an environment that provides a “hands on” experiences and empowers the children to become leaders of their own knowledge and experiences. Having an open classroom to promote the children to act out their curiosity and interact with other children. |

| To create a learning environment that is multicultural, inclusive, and encompasses the child as a whole. I hope to develop strong connections with not only the children in my classroom but also their families, so that we can both create a developmentally appropriate educational plan to help foster growth in their child. | To create a learning environment that allows children to think constructively, feels heard and encouraged to grow confident in their abilities.

Children need play. They learn to transform these educational experiences into determination, grit and passions. Children are able to develop and create their own unforgettable learning experiences that are true to who they are, as they discover the world for themselves. As they form connections with one another, they’ll share experiences, learn to negotiate and resolve conflicts while learning coping skills and self advocacy skills, all through playing.
