Why do you enjoy working with young children?
I enjoy working with young children because it allows me to see things in a new perspective. Working with children over the years has allowed me to continually learn and grow not just as an educator but as a person.

What have young children taught you?
Young children have taught me to enjoy the little things in life. Seeing the joy they have for a freshly picked dandelion or extra time to run and play reminds me to be thankful for all the gifts I receive in a day.
