I am a graduate of UW’s Early Childhood and Family Studies Program. I have also been fortunate enough to work with preschoolers and their families for the better part of the last three years. Originally from New Mexico, my wife and I have called West Seattle home for the last fourteen years. I am the father of two fantastic boys, ages 4 & 5.

While it is my intention to follow the educational guidelines set by the Seattle Public Schools during this pandemic, and knowing that the ages of the children in my care may vary, I think it may be useful to share my teaching philosophy as it stands with Pre-K students. I believe the fundamentals are applicable to all school-age groups.
