I specialize in early childcare education and have taught young children since September 1996. I have experience teaching children from ages two to six. Currently, I am teaching a class for three-year old children. I am also teaching art class for children from three to five years of age as part of the after school program at work. I also have experience teaching Drama for children from four to six years old. I joined Faust in February 2004 and directed the first Faust Festival performance in 2005 with the children in my groups.
