My name is Susan and have over 20 years of experience in the field of Early Childhood Education. I hold a Level VI Colorado Professional Certificate in Early Childhood Education. I also have a Master's degree in Early Childhood Special Education. My extensive background in Private Childcare and Early Childhood Education places an emphasis on children's continued social and academic growth. I have always been dedicated to creating a setting that allows children to explore. I share my strong interest in environmental awareness with children by incorporating recycling and the exploration of natural materials into our play. Recently, my experience as a classroom teacher and childcare provider has demonstrated an overall commitment to helping children. As an educator, I have always been a dedicated advocate who creates supportive environments for children and families.
