I'm so excited to meet you! My name is Miss Brittany, and I am a facilitator of early learning experiences for children between the ages of 3 and 5 years old. I have been teaching at the preschool level for 10 years now, and I am very lucky to have joined children at work and play in many contexts and in a wide variety of settings: lab school, private, public, non-profit, home-based, co-op, and virtual. I hold my MS in Early Childhood Education from Wheelock College at Boston University and professional licensure in Early Childhood Education, English as a Second Language, Moderate Disabilities, and Sheltered English Immersion through the state of Massachusetts. 
      I believe that young children learn best when they have an active hand in designing their own learning experiences. I like to plan a wide array of developmentally appropriate, interactive early academic activities for a virtual learning session (for example, counting games, sing-alongs, show-and-tell, and guided meditation), then select the activities that are most appealing to the group of children in front of me in that moment. I also believe in honoring the whole child, and value the inclusion of read-alouds and conversations that center and celebrate each student's unique identity. I encourage children to get up and move around, engage with toys in their environment, and to practice drawing both with the group and whenever they so choose--in my experience, a multitasking preschooler is still engaging with our class!
     In my free time, I love to sing and dance, watch movies, and keep up on the latest parenting and teaching research. I thrive on constructive feedback that allows me to further fine-tune my classes to create the most meaningful sessions possible for your young learner. I will respond to any communications from families within 24 hours of receiving a message. I am looking forward to getting to know you!
