At our daycare, we provide a culturally diverse learning environment by offering programs in different themes and introductory to Spanish (letters, colors, shapes, seasons, months of the year and days of the week).

I am a retired NYCDOE teacher. My area of expertise is Reading. Children normally leave for Kindergarten with all the reading skills they need to be successful. I'm passionate about childcare, and I have more than 30 years of experience caring for children with and without disabilities. With my professional experience and certifications in First Aid, CPR, teaching, and Early Childhood Education, I'm highly accomplished in teaching both educational and intentional play activities designed to develop children's' psychological, emotional, behavioral, and social skills.
