Introductions

Hi everyone!

My name is Christine Lau and I am excited to be starting as a part-time assistant at Terra Luz on Wednesday! I recently moved to Austin from Los Angeles, where I grew a love for early childhood education. I went to college at UCLA studying psychology, education and applied developmental psychology, in which I was able to intern at a high quality childcare center on-campus. I have always loved young children, but what immediately struck a chord with me was the way that they respected children as competent learners and equal citizens. We were exploring the Reggio philosophy and I was attracted to their amazing work as well as their high value of community. I had the opportunity to be a lead teacher in the infant room at a Reggio inspired school for a year and have learned so much from that experience. I am thrilled to have found a Reggio inspired school in Austin and look forward to the relationships, joys, wonder, challenges, and victories that are we will share together!
