What she values the most in her teaching is creating a strong foundation for children by understanding their individual emotional and developmental needs. Over the years, Veronica has discovered that she feels immense joy to play, watch and teach children to discover their world and explore their interests. Recognizing that children express themselves differently depending on their stage of development, she appreciates the importance of taking on a child's perspective by adopting an empathic, compassionate and attentive approach.
