What could be better than sunny days,
a good book, or chocolate?
Of course, it’s children and they are my passion! I love their joy, curiosity, and trust! It is these three things I work diligently to cultivate and strengthen in our young.
Caring for and interacting with children as a parent, grandparent, and educator has given me great practice in understanding children’s strong need for emotional support and guidance as they grow and learn to manage their own emotions. When children feel good, they do and act good!
Research supports the fact that “emotions impact everything!”

Therefore, I have combined my love and knowledge of children into “care” ideas and activities for others to use in their journey with children. Care Circles 4 Kids was born with this mission: to add on to the emotional health and happiness of children in their care places.

As the above words define me so does this saying:
“What is as important as knowledge?” asked the mind.
“Caring and seeing with the heart” answered the soul.
