My role within Little learners is to introduce the early academic skills children require to support their transition into school through playful activities, games and interests of each individual child.“

Supporting this cognitive growth through strong and positive relationships, sensory activities and physical challenges is why I enjoy working with our youngest children here at Cottontails."
