A little bit about me
I am a young college student who resides in the Chicago area. I currently attend College and will be receiving my Associate’s Degree In Applied Science in Early Childhood Education next month. As far as my experience goes I have a lot of experience with children of all ages from 6 weeks to 13 years old. My favorite thing about being an early childhood educator is being able to make a difference in a child’s life and then seeing their progression once they have learned and contained information all by themselves ! I love arts n crafts, science projects and I also love doing yoga !
