I have completed more than 200 hours of training in child development, safety and business courses. After nearly ten years in the loss prevention and security field, I decided to translate my experience with crime prevention into child development. While growing my pre-pre-school program, I have had the opportunity to help grow babies and toddlers into conscientious students.
