Teacher Anika

Education:
Graduated summa cum laud with an AA in Art and Elementary Education

Experience:
I have been a lifelong preschool teacher. I taught a 4 year old Sunday school class as a teenager, I've worked in various preschools all over the country, taking a break to focus on raising my own children with other needs, and now finding myself here at Pioneer preschool.

Personal Statement:
Play is learning, we are most able to absorb information when we use our visual, auditory, and kinesthetic senses. Inclusivity is important, we are all different and we all have something to offer. Our uniqueness is what makes us great. Emotions are valid, all humans have them, big and small, and learning how to navigate them in a healthy way is an essential part of life and connections.
