Hello! Welcome to Hastings Early Childhood Family Education!
I have had the pleasure of working in ECFE programs for the past 22 years and am beginning my seventh year as a Parent Educator in Hastings. My husband and I have five adult children and four & one year-old granddaughters that we enjoy spending time and experiencing adventures with. In my leisure time, I enjoy reading, home renovation projects. cooking, travelling and exploring National Parks. Last summer we experienced camping at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and Niagara Falls.
I appreciate the significant connections that families make through participation in our programs and joy in watching their children grow and learn. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know you and your family. I am available to support you regarding questions or concerns regarding child development and support with parenting. Please feel free to contact me by email or phone!
