Hi There!

My name is Mary Katherine Lazzaro; I am currently enrolled in Niagara University's Bachelor of Professional Studies. My educational journey has been deeply rooted in early childhood education, beginning with my diploma from Humber College in Early Childhood Education; it is enriched by my degree in Early Childhood Studies from the University of Guelph - Humber. My educational foundation has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of child development and pedagogical approaches, allowing me to make a meaningful impact on the lives of young learners. 

My educational and professional experiences have deepened my passion for working with children. This is a unique talent of mine, one that brings me great joy and fulfilment. From creating engaging learning experiences to providing compassionate care, I am dedicated to nurturing the growth and development of each child. Along with my education, I have actively sought out opportunities that allow me to expand my knowledge and skills within the field through participating in professional development workshops; I am committed to staying updated with the best practices and innovative approaches to teaching and child care. 

I have always enjoyed working and being around children. This passion started at a young age as I watched children in my family grow and achieve each new milestone, these experiences encouraged me to enter into the field of Early Childhood Education. Central to my philosophy is the belief that every child deserves the best care and education possible. I am driven to contribute to shaping young minds and empowering each child to reach their full potential. Through my dedication, compassion and lifelong learning, I am confident in my ability to make a positive difference in the lives of children. 

I am committed to fostering relationships with families and the border school community to ensure each child's needs and well-being are prioritized. I strongly believe that every child deserves the best care and education, and I am eager to contribute to shaping young minds. 

In conclusion, my journey in early childhood education has been led by my passion for working with children, dedication to ongoing learning and growth, and commitment to fostering supportive relationships within communities and with families. I am excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to continuing to make a meaningful impact within the field of early childhood education and the teaching profession.
