Ms. Violeta

Hello! My name is Violeta and I began my career in education as a high school teacher back in my home country of Moldova.

Teaching is all I’ve ever wanted to do. I completed my bachelor’s degree in philology at the State University of Moldova. I also completed a bachelor’s degree in history and law at State Pedagogical University. 

Learning through play is an important part of my teaching philosophy and I enjoy getting children excited about learning.

A few of the things I like are reading, cooking, and doing arts & crafts. I also love to spend time with my three children and enjoy running in my neighborhood.
