  Due to my extensive experience working with children aged zero to six, I am the designated young 5's through kindergarten ESL teacher at Vista. Based on in-class observations and taking into account each of my student's individual learning styles, language proficiency levels, and learning needs, I devise what language learning pedagogies would be most beneficial for long-term retention and language-autonomy development.
