My name is Kathy and I am a teacher in the Daisy Patch.  I have a Bachelor’s degree from Eastern Michigan University in Early Childhood Education and Michigan Teaching Certification.  I have taught preschool or pre-K for many years, in both private and public schools. 

 

I especially enjoy introducing the love of literature to children and encouraging their interest in nature.  I strive to create a family environment in my classroom; a mini society with only two rules:  Be safe, and Be kind.  I feel that fostering respect for themselves and others is the most important thing I can teach them.

 

I enjoy listening to, singing and playing music, reading, and gardening.  I am a member of several choirs and perform in the handbell choir at my church.  I also like to travel, especially visiting gardens and amusement parks!
