A typical day will involve laughter, hugs from children (Yes, maybe with some boogers for your shoulder), teaching, exploring, building relationships, reading books, singing songs, dancing and lots of smiles.
We do not enjoy working with "Debbie downers", attending pity parties, or listening to excuses.
