Mission Statement
First and foremost, my mission is to help children feel seen and heard and keep their natural zest and curiosity for life. Over time, “It takes a village” has grown in meaning to me. My village grew from the children in my classroom to the families, teachers, and staff I see and work with every day too. So now I strive to make sure our whole village is seen, heard, and nurtured.
