Ms. Makita, Toddler Teacher

Hi. I’ve been at Pumpkin Patch Childcare & Learning Center since 2004. I started as an aide, then became Teacher Certified after getting my degree in Early Childhood Development from Dakota County Technical College. I was the Lead Infant Teacher for many years, and since November of 2014, I have been the Lead Toddler Teacher. I truly enjoy working with toddlers and getting to know their different personalities. I enjoy doing story time with them, singing songs and working on their math and language skills. I especially enjoy doing messy fun art projects with them and teaching them sign language. They show me so much love and keep me laughing and I feel so blessed to have them in my life.
