I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Clinical Psychology, and I have also worked as a psychologist for eight years. Additionally, I also hold a Degree in Early Childhood Education. I hold a certificate as a Teacher, Master Teacher (mentor), and Site Supervisor for Preschool and T-kindergarte. I am also a positive diescipline certified teacher.

I am excited to meet you all during our Meet and Greet on  from Thursday, August, 7 iin  Turf Area (beside the playground). And don't forget to bring your school supplies!
