LIVE ONLINE HOMESCHOOL CO-OP CLASSES
FOR 2nd-6th GRADE
2 Hours Per Day
Monday - Thursday
Meet Ms. Darlene
I've experienced the JOY of teaching Preschool, K4, Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd and 4th grades, Elementary Physical Education, and English As A Second Language.
I have also been a Summer Camp Counselor, the Director of a Preschool that also served the local community with After School Care for elementary age students, and the Director of a Childcare Program that provided Summer Care for children. I've also enjoyed the pleasure of Homeschooling my own children from Preschool to Graduation.
Now I get to teach YOUR children online, and I can't wait!
