Maria Corinna David

Work Philosophy: I value having a positive mindset, great teamwork, and treating colleagues with utmost respect above all.

Educational Philosophy: I believe that every child is unique with special emotional, intellectual, physical and social abilities. As a special educator, it is my greatest desire to help young children, especially those with exceptional needs, to meet their fullest potential by providing a secure and caring environment. A place where they can express themselves, nurture their own ideas, and allow them to grow with confidence.
