Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.

Welcome to 'Songs, Sunshine and Small Wonders'!


The creation of this blog is for our preschool families to refer to for resources, thoughts and postings of our preschool journey.

This is a memorable time for your child as (s)he builds a foundation and love for discovery, learning and being a part of a school family. I delight in teaching this precious age group as young children are full of questions, eager to explore, think out of the box and create something new each day! My goals are to engage children in authentic learning experiences which nurture the whole child (social, emotional, physical, creative and cognitive development), and to develop a caring community where the children feel connected and encouraged. By creating an inviting learning environment, children are motivated to interact, learn and try new things. Providing rich experiences that emerge from the children's interests, "foster rather than force" their growth and disposition to wonder, think and investigate the world around them.

As an early childhood educator, I appreciate each child for who (s)he is and where (s)he is developmentally. Children in my care feel valued and cared for as I am dedicated to understanding each child and celebrating their individual journey. I am thrilled to be a part of your child's development and to provide a nurturing environment where (s)he will thrive.
