Lead Teacher

• May 2006 - Aug 2018

While employed at HSELC I began with no experience and quickly acquired my Child Development Associate, then worked until I graduated with my Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education. I continued my education and earned my Bachelors Degree in Educational Studies during my employment here. This school will forever hold a very special place in my heart. All four of my children attended and graduated Pre-Kindergarten from HSELC. There is a country song titled "The House That Built Me" by Miranda Lambert. This is the school that built me. Show less
