Jean's educational philosophy is based on the recognition that children learn best when they are actively involved in the learning process and use all of their senses to explore, discover, and understand the world. In both group and individual consultations, she helps colleagues and clients understand and appreciate the developmental strengths and challenges of the children under their care. She helps teachers create emotionally-safe classroom environments that are experiential, language-rich, sensory and socially-based. Jean provides parents with a solid foundation in child development so that they can fully appreciate and respond to their child's needs. She helps them recognize and adapt to the changing dynamics of family life and relationships.
