    I will be switching my classes to primarily evening classes the hours of Tuesday and Thursday from 8-9pm EST. 
    
    Welcome to my classroom. I have a LOVE and PASSION for teaching through play and music. I offer classes for young explorers, ages 3-12, and I offer math, science, and reading classes that are taught through play and movement. Your children will explore ABC's, 123's, shapes, colors, and animals. I hope to see your child in my classroom! Let's explore and learn together!
    
    I am a homeschooling parent and mother to a 4-year-old boy and a 1-year-old girl. I have an Associates' Degree in Early Childhood Education, Bachelors' in Humans Services with a focus on children and adolescents. I am currently working on my Master's in Special education (PreK-12) and will graduate in March of 2022. I have worked with children for the last 10 years in a variety of settings to include a preschool teacher working with children birth-5, ABA Therapist for 2 years, homeschooling my children for the last 4 years, and the last 2 years I have taught ESL online to children ages 3-18. 
    
    I believe that children learn best through play. Engaging a child through play and music is a great way to challenge children to be creative and think critically all while having fun. My passion stems from teaching and encouraging my own children to learn through play and music. My classes will offer songs, music, movement, and stories. Together your children and I will explore a wide variety of topics through pretend play all while incorporating learning. My overall goal for each of my classes is to first connect with your child, build fundamentals for your child to include math, reading, and speaking skills. I hope to see your child in my classroom! 
    
    If you have any specific requests for alternate times for classes or other classes you would like me to offer please send me a message. I would be happy to help your learner!

    CLASSROOM RULES/EXPECTATIONS/MUTING:
    
    I try my best to encourage participation from learners enrolled in my classes. If your learner prefers to stay muted this is fine. I try to leave all learners unmuted, but I understand that there are instances where being muted is necessary due to background noise which can not be prevented. Parents please feel free to mute at your discretion. 
    
    Students are asked to raise their hands when they have a question, answer, or something to say. If a student is repeatedly speaking out of turn I will advise the student why they are being muted and will ask them to unmute when I call on them. Please teach students how to mute and unmute for this purpose.
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    
    SIBLINGS:
    If you have more than one learner enrolled in the class, each learner that would like to participate must be enrolled to be fair to other students participating. Siblings are welcome to share screen. 
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    REFUND AND TRANSFERS:
    Per Outschool's limited refund policy: "Full refund within 24 hours of purchase or up to a week in advance of the class."
    
    Please ensure you are signing up for the correct times AM and PM as I teach both in the morning and late nights. I do this to suit all time zones , and I'm un able to fill last minute spots if it is realized that the time of day was a mistake or the class was missed. This is a non-refundable policy. Please if you realize the mistake reach out 24 hours in advance.
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    RECORDINGS:
    Recordings are not automatically shared. If you missed a class and would like a recording shared I will share the recording for 24 hours only. This is to create a safe, open space for students to be interactive.
