Welcome!

Welcome to my blog.  I have been in the education business for many, many years!  I have always believed that as parents, we are our child's first teacher.  I also believe that every child is the center of some one's world!  As educators, we owe it to every parent to remember that.

As my children have children, I have been reminded of how complicated and scary we, as educators make going off to school.  I truly believe that we should be partners, working together for what's best for the child.

I have three grandchildren, ages 1, 3 and 5.  I lovingly refer to them as my little nuggets.  As they grow, each with their own unique personality, I worry and hope that they get a teacher who appreciates their individuality.  Many of the characteristics we want children to have as adults come into conflict when they start school.  It is a balancing act between school and home to preserve the individuality of the child.

Hopefully this blog will set your mind at ease, help you get your child 'ready' and answer any questions you might have.
