Matthew 19:14 says, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” This is the first verse that I teach to my kindergarteners because I want them to know more than anything else that they are important to God and that He loves them!
My faith shapes the way I see my students. I believe that God loves each of them, gave them unique talents, and the capacity to learn. I believe it is my role, as educator, to help each student realize his/her full potential by providing an enriching environment, in the context of a safe and caring community. Because I believe that parents should be engaged as full partners in the learning process, I try to provide open communication with them. My hope is that each of my students will ultimately make Jesus the Lord of their lives and be properly equipped to serve God in His world.
