Secondary Language
Spanish
I have worked in the field for over 20 years and speak fluent Spanish and English. My first major was as a Music therapist so I apply music to my work with children every day. I play the piano and sing in both languages. My philosophy is that children learn through play and play should be fun and engaging; the messier they are, the more fun the children are having. I use hands on age appropriate science, art and literacy activities with the children. I have done trainings on topics ranging from: Science in Mixed age groups in Spanish, Music and Movement in Spanish, Spanish Circle Time Tips, Math for Early Beginners in Spanish, Respectful BabyCare, Yoga and Mindfulness, Play is Learning, How to Talk to Parents, Community Engagement in the Class,
