I believe "the greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that will outlast it" (William James). I have always loved being around children and feel that providing a loving and nurturing environment for them to thrive and grow is the most meaningful and rewarding use of my time. I use a whole-child approach with a focus on safety, play based learning , and child development , as I read, play, cook, sing, create, teach, learn and grow with your child. Providing quality care for your child, while maintaining open communication with families is my way of influencing society in a positive way. I was an elementary school teacher from 2005-2011 before starting my own family and opening up my small home childcare "Tina's Tots" in 2011.
