a little about me

I have been working with children for over 20 years. I have been with Wind and Tide for 8 years. I thoroughly enjoy working with children and see it as a privileged to be apart of their early developmental years.

a little about wind & tide

Early childhood is a particularly important period in child development. This is the time when your child learns social skills, develops concepts, and forms values and attitudes which last her/him a lifetime.

At Wind and Tide, we recognize each child as a unique individual with her/his own special capabilities. Our environment is warm, accepting and designed to promote self-confidence, optimum growth and development. We give each child as much personal attention as possible while at the same time promoting a feeling of group belonging.

There is also a new feature this year on the wind and tide website for parents… the parent portal
