I fell in love with the kids, and the ability to have fun and be silly, while educating them. I fell in love with the creative side of curriculum and the ability to get messy with art, or have some fun with a science experiment, and even get creative with meal times! Planning exciting educational activities and helping each child learn even just one specific thing, has made me truly feel like I’m making an impact on the students' lives. Every morning when I walk into the center, and the kids circle me in a bear hug, it makes any bad day I’m having fade away. My goal is for the children to come into our program knowing that they are loved and accepted by everyone at PTLC, no matter what. I believe each child deserves a chance to thrive and enjoy the young years, and I'm here to help them do that!"
