The objective of any childcare teacher is the protection, growth, and enlightenment of the children. I tend to focus on the emotional and social growth of the older children since they already have a place of primary education. My focus on younger children is to help them understand and come to terms with the world around them. Shapes, colors, numbers, letters, and everything else they're bound to be fascinated by. Overall I wish to create an environment where children are free to be themselves and where they are free to ask questions and pursue what interests them. In simpler terms; a safe and comfortable learning environment.

My experience with Childcare began with the A+ Program for Marquette High School. In exchange for maintaining a GPA of 3.0 or above and the promise of 100 hours of tutoring or volunteering as a TA for elementary school, I was given a scholarship of sorts for when I began college. I tutored the elementary school children and aided them with their homework while also helping them learn how to play games together and settle disagreements.

After I had been in college for several years I decided to pursue a job at Just4Us Childcare. As a male teacher, they were understandably trepidatious about hiring me, but before long I was the sole teacher of the school age children. Frequently I would spend my days assisting with homework, teaching them how to play fun and unique games, ingraining in them a love for knowledge, and engaging them with fun physical activities. I spent two years at Just4Us before moving to Arizona where I seek to continue my childcare career.

I am fully aware of the feelings many have towards men in the childcare field. I am ready and willing to work towards anything I need to do to lead to a more comfortable experience with parents and with my coworkers.
