I have been a part of the Indi Kids family since 2014, when I first joined the center as a student employee. In 2018 I graduated with a dual degree in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. For over a decade, I have had the opportunity to grow in several different roles here at Indi Kids, including Assistant Pre-K Counts teacher, Scheduling Coordinator and, most recently, Head Teacher in our Homer-Center Pre-K classroom. I am excited to now return to an administrative role as the Program Quality and Staff Development Coordinator, where I am excited to support the continued growth and quality of the Indi Kids program while also supporting the educators who make our classrooms such wonderful places for our children to learn and grow.
My passion for early childhood education is rooted in my belief that young children are capable, curious, and eager to learn when they are given meaningful opportunities to explore the world around them. I believe some of the most valuable learning happens through play, discovery, and exploration. Providing children with opportunities to learn alongside their peers, develop relationships with both other children and adults, express their ideas, and make discoveries of their own is one of the most rewarding parts of working in early childhood education. In my free time I enjoy playing and watching almost every sport, specifically watching my husband coach high school basketball. I also love spending my Thursday evenings at trivia and karaoke with my family. I enjoy spending time with my friends, reading, McDonald's cokes, and soaking up every moment I can with my daughter, Maren. |
