Educational Philosophy

I believe that children learn best when the adults in their life not only support them educationally; but also socially, emotionally, and physically. I believe that when a child is experiencing a problem outside of the classroom it affects their ability to be successful in the classroom. Schools, parents, and the community need to work collaboratively to ensure that each child’s individual needs are being met effectively so that they grow to be healthy, educated, empathetic and responsible adults in our society.

We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.

~Stacia Tauscher

Children need love, especially when they do not deserve it.
