I live in California, where I reside with my supportive husband and our three wonderful
children.
I have been an educator of young children for the last eighteen years. I hold my Bachelor of Science
Degree in Child Development, from California State University Fullerton.
My goal is to spark the interest and nurture
the minds of children, parents, and teachers. To give them the same enthusiasm and enjoyment of teaching, that I get
from teaching to children.

California Preschool Instructional Network EL
Guide Training
*Preschool English Learners: Principles and Practices to Promote Language, Literacy, and Learning.
Up Date: August 15, 2007
I just returned from the 18th Northern California Early Childhood Education Conference. Where we were introduced to
*The Building Blocks of Early Mathematics by Douglas
H. Clements
*Exemplary Early Literacy Instruction by Lesley Mandel Morrow
Both presenters had great information
that can be used right away in the classroom to help bring up Math skills and Early Literacy skills, I look forward to implementing
and sharing my ideas with you.
Also I was a presenter at the conference and presented Prop Box Magic.
Prop Boxes a way of setting the stage for meaningful, purposeful play.
