"Most importantly, I have always been a teacher of young children and I strive daily to educate the world-at-large about the importance of a child's first seven years."

Level 1 Credential Recipient

“I enjoyed the class very much. Mrs. Saffold was an excellent instructor. The information I’ve received will help me in this new adventure of childcare. I can’t wait for the level 2 class. The Level 1 Credential was just another step in my attaining my associate degree in childcare.”

I entered into the childcare field because I’ve always loved children. I love the idea of introducing them to learning. I love to see them get excited about what they master. When learning and teaching comes into play there are plenty of questions, but from the questions and answers comes knowledge and that’s what I enjoy. I took a 3 yr. leave of absence from my job where I care for senior citizens and persons with disabilities to care for my cousin. She’s 5 yrs. Old now and is in kindergarten and her teacher says she is ahead of her class. My goal is to continue in teaching and loving children as I have all of my life. I hope to one day move from home care into center based daycare which I would own. I am one of two children my mom was a stay at home mom so there was plenty of love, care and growth, I’m 6’2’’ so I know love equals growth (ha ha). My hobbies are cooking and baking.
