childcare philosophies…

As a passionate educator, I pride myself in approaching every child with curiosity and am always amazed at the wisdom these little teachers offer in moments of joy and adversity.

I believe that kids are an intricate piece within the global web of interdependent health between human and non-human communities. When kids are invited to listen, observe, and engage in ongoing relationships with nature, not only are they empowered to listen to their natural gifts and intuition, but the Earth is also empowered to remember what some of us have forgotten… that we are in a relationship.

childcare experience.

I can’t believe I’ve been working with children for over a decade! I have over 1,000 hours working as a preschool teacher at Pairivik Childcare Center in Iqaluit, Nunavut. I also have over 1500 combined verifiable hours with school-age children through working as a teacher at Sunflower Farm and as a day camp leader with the City of Iqaluit. I also recently worked as a lead teacher for the school-age program at Sunflower Farm in Longmont, Colorado for the school year of 2020/21.
