A little bit about me

Just so you know a little more about me: I have been working at a daycare for almost 2 years now but I have also been babysitting for 3 to 4 years prior to that! I am currently working in the preschool room for 6 months already which is ages 3-5 and we do lots of fun activities and learning expirements everyday. Right before I went into the preschool room, I was working with ages from 8 months- 2 years old for a year and know lots of fun activities in that age group as well. I love doing arts and craft, and getting outside and going on adventures! This past year i've been taking class to further my education in Earlier Childhood Education because I hope to work with kids the rest of my life and maybe open up a daycare one day! Let me know if you have any questions!
