    I am a Site Supervisor at the Child Development Center for the toddler classrooms. I facilitate lead teachers, and support staff with developmentally appropriate practices, assessment tools, curriculum and strategies to build relationships families.
    I am a Baby Signs Certified trainer, and i'm trained in "Conscience discipline". I teach these at staff in-service training and with new staff.
