Renee

My name is Renee, and I am an Early Childhood Educator/Home Child Care Provider. I started working with children over 15 years ago and have worked with children since I was a little girl, from Vacation Bible School teacher to running my church's summer camp program. I've worked as a teacher in Boston, MA, and in Georgia. I come from a family of teachers and have always wanted to teach, so being an Early Childhood Educator comes naturally to me.

My goal is to provide a safe and happy environment for each child to stimulate physical, intellectual, multicultural, social, and emotional growth at their own pace. I provide loving care that focuses on each child as a unique and wonderful individual and, in doing so, building self-esteem, confidence, and respect for others.

My hobbies are singing, cooking, reading, decorating, Sign Language, working out, and researching child care issues. I am fluent in English, French, and American Sign Language.

Since I started teaching, I've been very active in the field, keeping up with training. I have training on CPR/First Aid, Nutrition, Child Abuse, Health and Safety, Arts and Crafts, working with special needs children, Finger play stories, Behavior Management, Language Development, and many more.
