My Bio: Sara Catlin
Professional Bio
I am a dedicated and compassionate early childhood education professional committed to fostering a nurturing, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate learning environment for young children. With a strong foundation in child development and classroom observation experience across toddler, preschool, and pre-kindergarten settings, I strive to support each child's growth through engaging activities that promote social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development.
I ground my approach in best practices, ethical standards, and a deep respect for the individual needs and potential of every child. I am passionate about building strong relationships with families, collaborating with colleagues, and maintaining accurate records to ensure program quality and compliance with state and federal standards.
As I continue my journey in early childhood education, I remain committed to lifelong learning, reflective practice, and creating positive early learning experiences that lay the groundwork for future success.

PowerPoint Presentation
I did my best to fix the slides that needed to be corrected but I was still having issues with some of them. Especially Slide 10 when it came to it being visible and alignment as well as a few other slides. I hope I fixed slide 10 enough to where it was visible but I was having issues with Power Point.
