Special announcement!!
We are so excited to introduce you to our new Teacher Mentor, Mrs. Jaime Austin!
Mrs. Jaime has been working at The Garden of Knowledge since November 2024, bringing with her nearly 10 years of experience in the field of Early Childhood Education.
Mrs. Jaime's journey in Early Childhood Education began in February 2017 at a childcare center in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. In 2019, she moved to Idaho, where she continued her career in Early Childhood Education and worked at a childcare center for five years. In November 2024, Mrs. Jaime returned home to Louisiana and was excited to join the team here at The Garden of Knowledge. Mrs. Jaime has recently earned her CDA and teaching certification.
"Teaching young children is something I truly love. One of my favorite parts of being an educator is watching young minds open, grow, and develop as they discover new things. I enjoy creating a classroom environment where children feel comfortable exploring, asking questions, and learning through their own experiences.
I especially enjoy incorporating books into my lessons and throughout our daily routine. I believe that reading helps children build their imaginations, vocabulary, communication skills, and love for learning. I also enjoy using experiments and hands-on activities to reinforce the concepts we are learning. Seeing the excitement on children's faces when they can explore an idea and experience it for themselves is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching.
After 10 years in Early Childhood Education, I continue to be passionate about helping young children learn, grow, and build a strong foundation for their future. I am grateful to be home and to have the opportunity to be part of The Garden of Knowledge, where I can continue doing what I loveβteaching, learning, and making a difference in the lives of young children."
