I am a therapist and educator with a background in special education and a real passion for teaching and working with kids. I have been involved in education, and childcare more recently, for over 15 years. During the day I focus on working with toddlers and preschoolers on early language milestones but for the last 8 years I've worked with the same family after school which has been incredibly rewarding. I particularly enjoy being outside and active, but also fostering natural curiosity and critical thinking. Many of my families I connect well with enjoy things like: > Swimming and sports > Hiking or bike rides > Building Lego towers to the ceiling > Reading and writing stories > Doing a messy science experiment Please no booking requests. Please provide details about your family when reaching out!

    My 8 year old son is already asking again for Mr. Christopher! Chris has been great with him. He takes him to appointments and works in feedback sometimes that day. They always have fun, and our son is learning and strengthening his core at the same time. We are lucky to have found him and we are looking forward to the next visit.
