My Supports

I receive daily support from my coworkers and managers. These are my professional supports. 

My financial support and social support comes from my family and friends.

My spiritual support comes from my church members and my pastor.

I also find support from the families that I serve.

"My Connections to Play"

“You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” ― Plato

“Combinatory play seems to be the essential feature in productive thought.” ― Albert Einstein

Images of play

When I was in school, we had recess, and children were allowed to play during the day.  Play was seen as a way to work off lunch and to tire children down to make them more attentive in class.  Play was also a way for children to learn to socialize with other children.  Today, play is questionable in school.  People do not understand the benefits of play in learning.  As a result, opponents of play in school understate the benefits of play as a learning tool.  Play today is less active than when I was in school.  Therefore, I would like to see more creative play in the classroom.
