About the Author

Understanding the way children think and perceive things has helped me to provide the best childcare and education for the children I have been involved with and responsible for through the years. My journey with young children began at the tender age of nine when circumstances placed me in the caregiver role for my three young siblings while my mother worked to provide for us. Childcare and Early Childhood Education became my trademark in my community because I believed that each child deserved to be loved and respected as an individual and protected by the adults around them. I have worked in excess of thirty years in Early Childhood Education and will always be an advocate for children. I am a devoted mother and grandmother
