WELCOME PARENTS:
I believe parents are the main influence in children's lives. My goal is to build a relationship with the child and with the family. As your child develops a sense of trust in me and the school environment, they learn to separate from you with confidence knowing you will return at the end of the school day. I respect each person's need to experience the separation process in his or her own way, and I am here to help the children express their feelings as they build meaningful relationships with me. I believe that when a child's social and emotional needs are met, he or she can participate fully in the wide range of learning opportunities here at school. Children will become familiar with the routines of a classroom environment and benefit from gaining a sense of what it is like to be part of a larger group.I am looking forward to a great year ahead.
