Our classes are kept small, and our younger classes have 1 teacher and 2 or more assistants in each class. Parents can view the class in progress while sitting in our waiting room from our TV monitor. This helps to alleviate the anxiety of separation.

I have been working with children for 5 years. I have been babysitting for multiple children since age 15. I received my teaching assistant certification through the vocational program at Coventry High School. I began as an intern for the Little Oakers integrated pre-school, working with children of special needs. I then interned and later was hired as a teaching assistant for a childcare center where I spent the last 2 years as the head toddler teacher. I am in school for early childhood ed and special ed. I love children and aspire to open my own center when I am finished with school. Travel is not a problem. I have numerous references upon request.
