I was born and raised in San Diego, Ca. I now live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I'm married with 4 children ages 7,8,10 and 12 all boys. I'm a preschool teacher at a private NAEYC accredited Jewish School. We are currently learning about Reggio inspired environments and working on QRIS using Enviroment Rating Scale (ECERS).I currently work with a very creative teacher, who inspires me Mr. West. I have been teaching preschool for 15 years. I love children and marvel at a child's curiosity.

When we talked about drawing a giraffe all the children said they couldn't.
When I told them that a giraffe has different shapes they know how to draw already. They were surprised to find that they could draw a giraffe and were so proud of their work!
