problem solver? Working with children is a CALLING and you know if you've been CALLED. It's the tickle in your gut when you see a toddler experience ice cream for the first time, the swell in your chest when you see a preschooler's surprise as they tie their own shoes, the unavoidable giggles that escape when a four-year-old pats your big belly and asks if your babies are in there (hahahaha), the smiles that flow when you are swarmed by two year olds wanting to give your legs a hug. YOU know those feelings. They are incredible! We bring warmth, patience, and understanding to the classroom every day, encouraging children to learn and grow.
