LEAD TEACHER
Summary

My name is Dontalisha Galvin. I have been a lead teacher for 6+ years.I have always loved working with children since high school. I chose to start in the childcare field when I was 18 years old. I have taken extra class to achieve the lead role as a teacher. These include: Intro in childcare, skills and strategies, toddlers and schoolage. I am passionate about teaching kids of all abilities as I have children of my own with disabilities. To see the outcome I have on a child's learning is my biggest accomplishment as well as gaining a close relationship with the child and their families.
