 Introduction

Hi! My name is Tara and I am a teacher at First Baptist Church Preschool in Mount Shasta, California. The kids refer to me as "Teacher Tara" and it warms my heart every time I hear this, especially when they give me a hug too. :o) At this time I am a student at Southern Oregon University, earning a degree in Early Childhood Development with a minor in Psychology. Amongst the mix, I've added an internship on an organic, cooperative farm for learning how to become more self-sufficient and to reconnect with nature. It is my hope to inspire children to explore, love, and really tune in to the natural world around them as well. Below is a picture of me with a couple of kids who live on the farm (I was their nanny when they were infants so they feel like my extended family and hold a very special place in my heart). Overall, I truly feel blessed!
