Taught by Martina Martinez

Background Check Confirmed

I have a bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies and have been teaching early childhood for 14 years. I pride myself on preparing pre-k aged kiddos for kindergarten, giving them a strong foundation of phonics, reading skills, math skills, science and using Handwriting Without Tears to learn tripod grip for writing properly and supporting letter and sound skills for reading. Children learn these skills through play and awesome experiments through being hands-on! I am a level III educator based on Colorado Shines levels and use Early Learning and Development Guidelines (Colorado Standards for Early Childhood). I work with each child individually to make sure I meet every one of their needs so that they are confident moving into kindergarten. I also work closely with parents to support their child.
