Philosophy of Education

  “Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not.”-Walter Bagehot
    I also believe that students learn by doing, students must apply their knowledge, cooperative learning and social interaction are important in the learning process, and that the curriculum must vary from basic subjects to real life interests and experiences.

"Nicole truly cares for children. She is incredibly sympathetic to all of their needs and she allows children to solve problems on their own. Nicole constantly took time to interact with all of the children. She was very professional and is deeply committed to the teaching profession. She would be a great asset to any school."
