I have worked with children from UTK age to 5th graders. When working with children at home, I work to provide a screen free environment with a focus on hands-on learning and play (drawing, painting, reading, dancing, singing, building, organizing, etc.).

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting your wonderful family!
