About Elizabeth
Experience: 10 yrs
I love children and I love people (dogs are people too)! I ran a licensed daycare/ECEAP out of my home for 16 years, took care of 6 to 10 children at a time 0-12 yrs old. I have 10 years of ECE credits, a BA in social work and a Master's in counseling. I worked for a private agency as a case manager for 4 years, working with children 0-18 years of aged children and Family. I believe in building on strengths in children, finding what their gifts are, nurturing and growing them. I believe in positive reinforcement, really talking to children at their level. They are very smart little people if you don't give long speeches! I do a lot of sensory play, child friendly 'experiments, art, singing and reading! During my years as a daycare provider, I came up with MANY creative ways to teach kids, since they all learn so differently! 3 child Max.
