Hello! I'm Danielle, and I am a New York State certified elementary teacher with many years of experience working in Westchester, NY. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Childhood Education and a Master's Degree in Literacy. For most of my career, I have taught in an inclusive classroom (ICT), teaching general education and special education students. My teaching philosophy centers around building a strong social-emotional foundation. I believe that when students feel safe and confident, they are better equipped to take on challenges and embrace new learning opportunities. I strive to foster an environment that encourages collaboration, resilience, and curiosity. I’m dedicated to helping children become critical thinkers and problem solvers. In addition to teaching, I am passionate about how diet & lifestyle play an important role in a child's development. My mission is to combine my teaching expertise and years of research on health & wellness to create a community to empower parents with the knowledge and tools to nurture their children’s health and development through clean eating. Together, we aim to inspire families to make conscious choices that promote growth, vitality, and well-being for themselves and their children!
