A little about me

I currently live in the South Surrey area and have lived in the lower mainland my whole life. I grew up mostly with my mom raising me and my younger brother. My friends would probably say that I am reliable and good to talk to. I love watching movies and going on walks/hikes. I also love to read. I usually have at least one book on the go if not two!

Me and Childcare

Growing up going to daycare from age of 5-11 I think I wanted to work with children in some aspect from a very young age. It wasn’t until the end of high school on a work experience placement in a kindergarten class that I decided I wanted to work with young children. I love being with the children and watching them learn and grow. I really enjoy hearing their stories and different ideas about the world at their different ages.

My favorite thing about the Reggio approach is that it is so child centered. We have the opportunity to discover and learn about so many different things as we tap into their interests and likes. As the Children are given opportunities to discover and test the world around them so much creativity, problem solving, and in depth thinking that it feels as though topics could go on forever and the sometimes they do! You never really know exactly which direction a project will go and that is the exciting part about it.

Conclusion

I really enjoy the work I do spending time with a wide range of children. I love getting to know them all and finding out what makes each and every one of them so special.
