Why do you enjoy working with young children?
I enjoy working with young children because they are so eager to learn… The genuine excitement in their eyes and the pride that they show when they can apply what they have learned is so rewarding. It is always so neat to see how much progress that they make, especially at this age!

What have young children taught you?
Young children have definitely taught me that it is so important to be yourself and to make the most out of every day by exploring, working together, and having fun! They have also taught me that kindness and a simple smile can go a long way!
