My philosophy is that kids should be kids and no barriers should hold their imagination in! I believe natural learning is key to raising loving, empathetic human beings. I focus on social/emotional development which includes but is not limited to manners, using kind words, conflict resolution, personal space and boundaries. I am a very hands off teacher, instead, I encourage self sufficiency and how to rely on and trust friends when in need. I strongly believe that a child who learns self sufficiency at a young age will grow up with a more positive outlook on life because they have been given the skills needed to maneuver positively through life.
