Her next step is to pursue a bachelor’s degree from Cal State Dominguez Hills starting next fall semester primarily in Child Development, which is a field she has been involved in since 2018. The passion and love for children began when she met her Step-son in 2016; that is when she decided she would pursue a career in child development to better assist her Step-son with his needs and also learn to help other children promote their learning abilities, independence and confidence. Ms. Savannah has worked with diverse families within a diverse community and is thankful for her mentors and educators who have enlightened her child development adventure.
Ms. Savannah believes that children develop, learn, and grow through hands-on experiences and meaningful interactions. She considers that a classroom should be a safe, caring environment where children are free to express themselves and allow the time they need to blossom and grow. All children are unique and have something special they can bring to their education. She uses strategies to help children communicate with their peers, teachers, and embrace the differences in others.
