About Diane

I ran an in-home daycare for 10 years. During that time I attended college and completed 2 years of early childhood education coursework, although I ultimately earned a paralegal certificate and a BS in General Studies. Despite working full time and being very involved with my children I was able to achieve Salutatorian status for my college class in 2012 . I am comfortable with all ages, although toddler-preschool is my true love. I enjoy seeing how their minds process things and learn. I love reading to kids and I have written 5 books for my own grandchildren . I enjoy helping children learn about nature and science, doing crafts, and playing outdoors. I think screens and kids can work on a very limited basis. I am comfortable with technology and can communicate in any and all ways a parent desires. I follow parental guidance on discipline although I do expect to be trusted to use my own judgment in certain cases. My well-behaved labradoodle accompanies me on long days.
