Our Infant Classroom
We know the first year of life can have a big influence on a child’s success in the years that follow. That’s why teachers in your child’s Infant classroom provide a loving and nurturing environment as they lay the foundation for learning. This includes literacy; communication and vocabulary skills to help your infant better express their needs; gross motor skills and sensory development; and emotional well-being.

I am born and raised in Houston, Texas and have worked with children since 2019. Outside of work, I love spending time with family and friends. I am in my health journey so if I am not with family and friends, I am at the gym. I love traveling as well and my favorite state I have visited so far is Oregon. I’m excited for the school year and look forward for all the memories that are going to be made in our classroom.
