Why MND?
I was blessed with the opportunity to work at MND after over twenty years teaching in the public school system. My youngest child came to MND, and we experienced teachers embracing him with love, patience, and support. I knew that this was the place for me! MND is a place where children are always put first and truly given the foundations for learning that lasts a lifetime.
I remember...
I remember always feeling like school was like home and teachers were a part of my family. I am so fortunate to have stayed connected with so many special students that I’ve had in the past. From being invited to their weddings to having their children in my class, I am so fortunate to have been a part of their journey and now family, as so many great teachers were of mine.
My teaching philosophy:
I believe that every child needs a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where they can grow and reach their full potential. I believe that all students will rise to high expectations if you set them. I also think learning should be and can be fun!
