    Welcome!

    Welcome to the Early Childhood Education program at Hamilton High School. We offer classes and intern experiences for students who are interested in careers with children from birth-3rd grade. Our wonderful program works in conjunction with our campus Lil' Express Childcare Center for children 0-5 years old as well as the CUSD elementary schools in our area.

    My Education and Professional Background

    I have a BFA from the University of Arizona, a Post-Baccalaureate from the University of Phoenix, and a Master's Degree in Education from Arizona State University. I also have earned National Board Certification as an Early Childhood Generalist.

    My Educational Philosophy

    I believe every child can learn and be successful. In order to build a positive and respected learning environment, there first needs to be a relationship built on trust. This trust needs to start with me and then be felt by my students. I will strive to build a rapport and understand each of my individual student's needs and learning styles. The relationship is the key to building a positive, safe and respected learning environment where all students can learn and be successful.
