Meet the Business Owner

Deanna M.

Business Owner

My name is Deanna. I am the owner. I have over 20 years in the Child Development Field.Child. I have worked in many capacities from teacher’s aid, teacher, lead teacher, and now owner/​teacher. I have always had a heart for children and I get great joy when I see them learn and master skills they have been working on. I have an eclectic teaching style. Children rarely learn from one teaching style. I have looked at three of the major philosophies in early childhood education, Montessori, Reggio, and Heuristic Play and have taken parts of each of them that I have found works well and meshes with who I am as a teacher. The statement that best represents my philosophy is this: Children are most motivated to learn when they are given freedom within limits, able to be creative without fear of judgment, and have an environment with opportunities for natural learning to take place.
