About Mark

Hello! My name is Mark. I am currently a lead toddler teacher and I love what I do. I have 3 years experience teaching 13-month-olds to 3 years olds. Prior to that, I was working with 3 to 5-year-olds as a mental health worker. While I was in grad school for art education, I worked with elementary school kids up to high schoolers. I also have experience working with children with special needs. I believe young children learn through play and observations. I think as an educator it is my duty to engage children in activities that are stimulating, encouraging growth, equality, morals, and at the same time allowing children to independently explore and discover things about the world and how they work. Children also learn through their own peers. I encourage children to be considerate and to be caring to each other as they develop compassion and consideration for each other. I believe visual art can be used as a great teaching tool and can allow children to learn and grow.
