Hsiao Lung (Jackie) Yang

My name, Hsiao Lung, means little dragon in Chinese. I was from Taiwan. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education in 1998, after few years of teaching. I never stopped learning since I have worked with children because I know that being a good teacher is always increasing knowledge. I love my job, which is very meaningful. We can make a big difference in the early ages that fulfill with true heart, sincere love, and pure motive to absorb this world. The last six years I put myself to be a toddler teacher. This experience is extremely treasure to me. I was able to see how children developing their Autonomy and Initiative in this stage. We didn’t have this opportunity to observe these ages in group setting in my country. I kept enroll in classes and had my Program Director permit in 2012. My philosophy of teaching is “Respect Children.” It is build on value each child as an individual and trust them. Trust is also tied with understanding and knowledge of child development. I also love to be part of diverse and welcome in the school.
