Toddler Teacher (EEC Certified)

Some people see toddlers and see chaos; you see curiosity, determination and wonder. 

You know that a child proudly putting on their own shoe for the first time is a milestone worth celebrating. You understand that helping a toddler learn to use words instead of tears is important work. And you know that some of the most meaningful teaching happens on the floor during block towers, dance parties, story time, and messy art projects. If that sounds like you, we'd love to meet you.
