| 1. Why did you become a teacher? | ” I became a teacher because I enjoy children. I continue teaching because I love how kids’ minds work. Watching them learn something new and apply it is very rewarding.” |
| 2. Why did you decide to teach in Vietnam? | ”Vietnam chose me. I’ve taught other places but Vietnam felt like home immediately. I love the country, culture, and people. I hadn’t planned on staying so long but now this is my home.” |
| 3. Why do you think early childhood education is so important? |
”Early childhood education is so important because it sets your child up for all future learning. All fundamental skills are learned in kindergarten and built upon in later years.
Sparking your child’s educational interests at an early age can help set the tone for other educational achievements.”
