I am so excited to return to CYT after a break of a few sessions. I will teach Wiggles and Giggles again this session. I have been an early childhood teacher for over 20 years. I have also been in high school and community theater, so CYT mixes two of my favorite things. I am homeschooling my 5th grader and my kindergartner this year and I am excited to be back!
