Hello I'm Teacher Neka, and I'm passionate about sparking a love of learning in young minds!
My classes focus on making learning FUNtastic! We'll be singing catchy songs, playing engaging games, and building a strong foundation through laughter and joy.
Here's why this approach is powerful:
- Engaged Learners: When learning is fun, children are more engaged and retain information better.
- Positive Associations: A positive association with learning sets the stage for lifelong curiosity and a love of exploration.
- Holistic Development: My playful approach caters to different learning styles, fostering cognitive, social, and emotional growth.
Here's a bit about my super cool adventures so far:
-Unlocking Super Skills: I used to be a Behavior Technician where I used ABA therapy for children with Autism and helped to unlock their super skills.
-Leader of the Fun Bunch: I wrangled a group of energetic kiddos at the Boys and Girls Club, making sure they had a blast while learning new things through songs, games and tons of laughter!
-Music magic: I have a bachelors in Music with an emphasis in voice. That means we'll sing lots of songs because they're a secret weapon for remembering new things!
-Preschool Powerhouse: I was a lead teacher for little superstars like YOU! I created all sorts of exciting lessons filled with singing, reading, and learning adventures.
Now, I'm a super-proud stay-at-home mom to two amazing little girls, but my love for teaching school readiness and music never fades!
Here's what makes learning with me extra special:
-Learning with Laughter: We'll have tons of fun singing, playing games, and exploring the world together!
-Growing at Your Pace: Every child learns differently, and that's okay! We'll work together to help you reach your full potential.
-Books and Beyond: We'll go on a storybook adventure with every class I teach while asking thought-provoking questions that will fuel your imagination.
I can't wait to meet you all and start our learning adventure together!
