Summary

Hi! I'm Elainne, and I've been playing "teacher" for my younger siblings and cousins since I was in my primary years. I knew right there and then that teaching is my passion. Years later, I pursued Bachelor of Elementary Education major in Early Childhood Education. And I love it! Having more than 14 years of experience teaching young children from ages 18 months to 7 years (plus, taught up to 12 years of age for other teaching experiences), I've gained different insights, teaching methods, and learned a great deal from seasoned colleagues. I've had a lot of great feedback from colleagues and parents, but the most heartwarming responses I got were from my children themselves. I am so proud to be their "school mama".
