Exploradores preescolares: ¡descubran el océano usando los 5 sentidos! (1 día/de 3 a 6 años)

Kids have been a part of my life since I was one!  From babysitting, camp counseling and working in Early Childhood Educational facilities to teaching all subjects to elementary school children in public/private schools and hospitals, to co-owning and directing my own preschool, I have worked in a variety of settings educating, supporting and learning right along with them!  Here on Outschool, I teach all things geared towards pre school and elementary school aged learners including Literacy, Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Creative Arts, Social and Emotional Development and Cooking!  My degrees include a B.A. in Psychology from Western Michigan University, and a M.A. degree in Child Development from Michigan State University.  I am licensed to teach Preschool - 6th grade and hold a Director of Large Center Child Care Certification in the state of Colorado in the U.S.A. - where I am lucky enough to call home!  My zeal for teaching, and making lives the best they can be for children has always been what has driven me and encouraged me in all of my jobs...even when I dressed up as the costumed character mascots at Chuck E. Cheese when I was a teenager! (One of my earliest jobs!)   I am married with two awesome kids who have spent many hours engaging and assisting in many areas in my many classrooms over the years!

My Policies for Learners on Outschool are as follows: 

1)  Classes will begin at the scheduled time, even if all learners are not in the classroom (unless there is a technical issue which does happen from time to time). I will not contact absent learners during class time so I can focus on the learners who are present. If no one is in the classroom 10 minutes after the class start time, I will leave the classroom. The class session will be cancelled for that day, and a recording of the class will be posted on the classroom page for the learner to watch when they are able which will be considered the make up class.
2. Classes will always be made up if there is a problem and I cannot attend class.  
3. Refunds follow the ‘Limited’ model. Parents may withdraw up to a week before class starts with a full refund. Within this timeframe, parents may transfer to a new section up to 48 hours before start time, but are no longer entitled to a refund. 
4. Many of my classes require a minimum enrollment for engaging with other students in learning. For this reason, if there are not enough learners within 24 hours of class, I will contact families with options to either transfer to a more populated section of the same class or to receive a full refund.   For classes that require at least 3 enrollments,   I am happy to teach to learners on a 1 to 1 basis, under the premise that class will be taught in a 25 minute class due to less time for engagement with other learners. I will also happily teach class to 2 learners under the premise that class will be taught in 35 minutes for the same reason.  (Sometimes this happens if there are unplanned absences in a class as well bringing the class to 1 or 2 learners which means that this policy will still stand).
