About Karen

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have been teaching for 16 years. I have taught in many classrooms: Twos, Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten. Before I taught, I had a home day care where I watched children who were infants up to age five. Because of covid, the teachers at my school were put on leave. During that time, I was approached by one of my student's parents and asked if I would run a mini preschool in their basement. I did that for a year. I love children, and I love teaching and watching them grow. I am good at planning fun learning experiences for children. I also like to get down on the ground and play with them. I especially love reading stories, doing science experiments and art projects.
