Ms. London Scott
Ms. London Scott, I started working in childcare in late 2019. I started out working in the infant room and loved it! After working with infants for about a year and a half I moved up to teaching the younger two-year-olds. When I got with that age group I really fell in love with teaching. I was able to show more of my creative side of teaching. I loved how much hands-on activities we would do every day, teaching them lessons I know they would carry on for the rest of their life and so much more.
