About Renee
Philosophy
Renee uses a play based, responsive approach, meeting children where they are and creating individualized support for their needs. She believes the foundation of development & learning starts with a trusting relationship. Renee is committed to helping children explore and grow while finding joy in who they are and how they learn.
Learning starts with curiosity, exploration, & connection
Children teach us how important play is. They show us their curiosity, how they think, and what they are capable of through their play ideas, creativity with toys, and exploration with materials. When we join children in play, we enter into their world and create connection.
