Why do you enjoy working with young children? 
Being a grown-up is stressful at times, and when I work with young children it gives me the opportunity to have fun! I can forget about the bills I have to pay or the laundry I have to do, and I get to laugh, sing, dance and play. It puts a smile on my face and makes me feel joyful! 

What have young children taught you? 
That it's okay to make mistakes. God loves all of us for who we are and will always forgive us. They have also taught me to see the beauty in everyday things.
