About Christine

Working with kids is my greatest joy. Investing in children with trust and compassion builds a conscientious generation. My greatest reward is seeing children's faces light up when I arrive; they know I love them, and they love me in return. I prioritize literacy, fine motor skills, and analytical thinking through narrative games and creative construction. Whether sewing, painting, or making puppets to help us read stories, I integrate logic into play. I use psychological principles to maintain a calm, playful disposition and help children build emotional intelligence. My background includes 13 semesters teaching, a teaching award, and ESL instruction in Japan and Turkey. Combined with 11. 5 years of hands-on care and raising two children, I offer a holistic, nurturing environment.
