My name is Carrie Szafarczyk. I have been a part of Forest Ridge Academy
for ten years. I came to Forest Ridge Academy in the summer of 1999 to be
part of the Summer School Young Scholars Team. I then had an excellent
opportunity to work with the Kindergartners, as a teaching assistant.
What a great way to receive "hands-on" experience! In 2000, I officially
joined the Young Scholars Team. After working with the team for two years,
I became the Junior Kindergarten teacher. For the last seven years, I have
enjoyed teaching Junior Kindergarten. Early Childhood Education is my
career and my goal is to incorporate the most efficient and appropriate
techniques used to teach your child. While in Junior Kindergarten, your
child will be exposed to a "hands-on" and developmentally appropriate
classroom environment. I am looking forward to working with you and your
child. I am also looking forward to the new challenges and milestones your
child will surpass.
