A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Chloe I recently moved from Staunton Virginia after graduating with a BA in theater, a minor in education, as well as a minor in musical theater. I have a strong passion of the outdoors, animals of all kinds, any sort of arts project, singing, reading, cooking, piano playing, and any form of theater.
Over the past 10 years I have taught multiple classes for ages 3-74 through different community, youth, and educational programs. During the past 5 years I have work in closer environments with a range of different children including those with special needs. I'm very fond of Montessori teaching and development techniques. I believe empathy, imagination, and honesty are key! :)
