Welcome to Caeli's Classroom!

I'm a patient and compassionate Early Childhood Educator for the past 5 years with Bachelors in Education. I have worked with many students; students with disabilities, ESL and Montessori students. I have creative lesson plans that teach to the child and prepare them for kindergarten in a fun way!

Ages & Stages

​

This is a sample version of the ages and stages from infant to 5 years old. This is to help us know what I will be teaching your child. If some of their skills are in an earlier or later stage this will help me alter the lesson based on their needs. Not every child learns at the same rate. All children's differences are to be embraced. Their learning will go according to what THEY need.
