Responsibilities: Preschool teacher for four and five year olds and preparing them for kindergarten. I have numerous children in my class with special needs. I strongly believe in inclusion and work very hard with my co-teacher to make sure this happens. In addition to being a preschool teacher, I have recently taken on the roll of infant teacher in our infant room. This completes my goal of having worked in each age level of early child care learning.
