Jill's Teaching Philosophy:
I am so excited to begin my second year at TLC and be a part of the TLC team of educators. I have worked with a variety of different aged children, both in private school settings and public schools. My passion is working with younger children. I believe that children learn through play and hands-on experiences. Whether it is pretend play next
to a friend, playing restaurant in the dramatic play area, a field trip, building with blocks or coloring, children make meaning of the world around them through play. I also believe that each and every child has their own strengths and areas that need growth and need to be given many opportunities to play and practice what they have experienced. It is very important to me as an Educator to help build a positive environment where children can build self-esteem, respect for themselves, others and their environment around them. I love to collaborate with families and work as a team to best meet the needs of your precious children.

-Lead Teacher Certified by the Department of Early Education & Care
-Preschool Teacher for the past 16 years in Natick
-Mother of a 19 year old daughter

Wendy's Teaching Philosophy
My approach to teaching involves building children’s self esteem, provide hands on exploration, create group activities and encourage play. I also try to teach and guide each child in every stage of his or her development and at his/her own pace. I believe that offering your child choices teaches him to be able to problem solve independently and to advocate his/her findings and beliefs.A goal of mine is to incorporate life skills into a child’s daily routine. I believe that the parent/teacher relationship plays a vital role in your child’s development and communication is a top priority of mine.I look forward to being a part of the TLC community.
