Newport Children's School

"Ever since grade school I have wanted to teach. Teaching is the most rewarding, renewing and important job in the world. Children have such a great capacity to learn, create, teach and enrich our lives. I believe each child is special, with unique needs and talents. I love helping a child reach new horizons in education and in life. Their excitement and joy for life is inspiring. I believe teachers can be wonderful facilitators for growth and a true love for learning."
