Little Explorers Learning Center aims to provide children with fun learning experiences and exciting opportunities to develop the skills needed to explore the world around them and be lifelong learners.
Little Explorers Learning Center ensures that children’s learning styles and intelligence are recognized and respected.
I have a Bachelor of Science major in Psychology. I also completed my teacher certificate program specializing in Early Childhood Education and earned credits in a Master of Arts in Special Education with specialization in Intellectual Disabilities. I am also an active licensed Family home childcare provider and a STATE-APPROVED MENTOR to help grow the number of childcare providers in Washington.
I have been teaching for more than two decades and being a child at heart is one of the best things I love from being an educator. Teaching young children’s minds and touching their hearts will always be my passion.
During my free time, I make sure that I spend quality time with my family. I enjoy going to different places to learn new things and build great experiences and memories.
