Ms. Megan

I am an experienced, creative and enthusiastic child care provider with a lot of energy.
In 2023 I received my Early Child Care Education Certification from Sierra College. I bring to the environment art, fun, respect and safety. I enjoy blending child guided expressive activities with learning attributes. I believe in serious playtime that builds confidence and independence.
I am the Author of the children's book series, Farm Day Adventures . These stories feature the adventures of Cash the clever canine and his barnyard buddies. They were inspired by the animals I met while working on a farm. Through these characters, important lessons in emotional development are emphasized. Their tales depict how the magic of friendship, teamwork and loyalty come to life for young readers in an easily understandable and memorable way.
I am a passionate storyteller and speaker. I travel from Salinas to Carmel to share my Farm Day Adventures with local families, schools and day camps. My story times are full of participatory activities; followed by theme related crafts and story reenactments. Impromptu and creative thinking is encouraged by the children creating their own verbal stories, using pictures that turn up after tossing dice. I speak with school age children emphasizing the importance of individuality and creative confidence. I have been a tutor and mentor both live in and after school. Majority of my focus has been to inspire and enhance early learning passions. To each child care event, I bring along my own art bins to stimulate imaginations. We play games using natural materials and practice science projects / experiments, using safe and common pantry ingredients. I have also created and directed independent outdoor child guided play groups.
