A little bit about me

My name is Serena Foster and I am 25 years of age. I’m originally from a small town in Iowa and loved the relocation. I’m from family of five and I’m the fifth sibling. Three years ago I applied to Principle Child Development Center & have learned so much from being a teacher here. I am a lead teacher and currently have my own classroom that provides care for 8 infants. I work with a co-teacher and we are at a 4 to 1 ratio. Since I have worked at the center I have created amazing connections with my children and their families, within the center and even helped them sometimes outside of the Center. When seeing a family and child everyday there is always a trustful relationship and bond that starts to grow and it is always heartbreaking when we have to send them on to the next classroom and age group to work with. Looking forward to spending time with one family and developing longer relationships with the ability to give my time full to the children I’m watching and their family.

A little bit about me

With 15+ years of childcare experience, I am focused on creating an encouraging environment for child-led play which aids in development. Through hands on activities, focusing on both fine & large motor skills, I tailor my care to fit the needs of every child so our time together is beneficial for all. Not only do I focus on the time spent with the child(ten), but the family as well. I like to stay busy with light house work, meal prep, errands, etc to help make life a bit easier in general.
