Favorite Bible Verse:
Matthew 19:14 (NKJV)
But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

My Philosophy of Education:
My philosophy of education is to instill the joy of learning in my students and an understanding of Christ’s love for them and for others. I believe that the starting point for this learning is when a child
feels respected by both the teacher and their peers. A child learns from so many people, their parents, the community, and even other children. I consider it a privilege to be a part of this season in their lives.
As a believer in Jesus Christ, I believe that He is the ultimate example of love. Children need this love and need His example in order to grow into who they were created to be. As a teacher, my hope is to point children to His example during the key developmental years in their life.
