Richel Newborg
I am a stay at home mother of three young children. Formerly, I was employed as a Preschool Director and Early Childhood Educator specializing in infants and toddlers. For a short time I worked with children under the age of 6 that have have tested on the spectrum for Autism. Although I have experience in many theories in how young children learn, my personal opinion is that children under the age of four learn best through play.
I love anything creative and enjoy making custom cakes, planning parties, crafts, and cooking. I also have experience in the area of wedding and party planning.
I have my own blog called Preschool Mommy, where I celebrate motherhood, little kids and play! I hope you will visit me at preschoolmommy.com
