Aloha! My name is Harmony and I am from Honolulu, Hawaii.  I am a mother of 4 children and I found my passion for teaching when my oldest, who is 20 now, went to preschool.  I have my diploma in Early Childhood Education and I have worked as a Head Teacher and Co-Head Teacher for my own classrooms in a preschool setting.  I believe that the world around us and everyday life is the best classroom any child can learn in and learn from.  I offer not only a teacher's perspective in learning, but a mother's perspective as well.  I love animals, nature and art.  I work with acrylics and sell my artwork online and locally.  I have taught art to children from the age of 3 all the way up to adults in a classroom setting.  I also do art with my own children at home and found that it is an amazing way for them to express themselves and their feelings.  I'm an avid baker and cook.  I bake from home and have constant orders for everything from cakes and cupcakes, to mochi and lau lau (a hawaiian dish).  I work with my children in the kitchen as well and would love for other children to be more involved to see the gratification you can get from making something from scratch.  I've worked and still work with my own children at home with all of their school subjects as they progress through their school years, so I have a vast understanding and knowledge in many areas.  I think every child has the opportunity to lead a bright future, and what and how they learn are the building blocks to pave the path that they walk down.  I can't wait to meet you and your children and spend time opening their hearts, minds, creativity, and their tummies!
