My name is Molly Hickok and I am currently in my eleventh year of teaching.

for one year at Our Lady of Peace School.  This is my fifth year of teaching

Europe, Australia and the United States.

I believe in the importance of a holistic approach in helping children 
develop academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.  I use a 
variety of teaching methods to motivate each student and provide activities 
that match their learning style and ability.
