I believe in a play-based approach to learning at this early age. Play is a young child’s work. I look forward to helping them become independent and problem solvers.

I taught for 30 years in Wicomico County Public Schools. I taught Pre-K4 and Kindergarten. My last teaching assignment was at Parkside CTE, teaching 9-12 grade Early Childhood Education.

I have a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood/Elementary Education from the California University of Pennsylvania and my master’s degree in Special Education from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. I am also a Nationally Board-certified teacher as an Early Childhood Generalist and am a PD Specialist for the Preschool CDA certification.

Things I love to do (when not working with children):

READING!!
Music concerts
Coffee
Sticky buns
Spending time with my family
