Tell us something else about yourself (hobbies, passions, fun facts about you)
I love reading and gardening. When I am not busy driving my kids to all their activities I love to be out in nature, preferably near a body of water.
Favorite thing about teaching preschool
There are so many things that I love about teaching preschool, but most of all the wonder and excitement of our youngest learners when they discover something new.
What is something you have learned about yourself or your faith from your students?
I have learned not to take life too seriously all the time. It is still important to slow down and appreciate all the little things that make our lives so wonderful.
