Early Childhood Educator in Burlington, Ontario

I have worked with almost all age groups throughout my career, but most of my experience has been in working with with kindergarten children. I enjoy working with a play based, emergent curriculum, and balancing child-directed play with teacher-directed academic programming in language and math concepts. I have fairly extensive experience within the classroom environment, as a support facilitator as well as an educator in inclusive settings. I have worked as a team with Resource Consultants, Physical Therapists and Psychiatrists to create goals and develop and implement IPPs. I have created and used visual schedules, activity strips, sensory materials, and various assistive devices such as weighted vests and blankets. I am a strong believer in inclusion, and I really enjoy working with children with special needs.
