About Holli

Hello, my name is Holli. I have a degree in Early Childhood/Elementary Education as well as some graduate courses completed. I have experience in a variety of classrooms with children from preschool through fifth grade and I have nannied/babysat for children ranging from newborn to 10 years of age. I spent a year volunteering and working with horses and children with special needs; my two passions combined in one experience. I believe children are individuals that learn and grow at their own pace and have their own set of needs that must be met. It is this belief that helps me to focus on getting to know each child I work with individually and creating experiences for them that they will thoroughly enjoy as well as learn and grow from. I believe that children should stay active as well as have some necessary "down time" as long as the active outweighs the inactive part of the day. Children should be read to, played with and stimulated at a developmentally appropriate level.
