Preschool

I am a Visual Arts Educator with over 15 years of teaching experience in public schools in Iran and three years of experience in licensed child care settings in Canada. I hold an Associate Degree in Graphic Design, a Bachelor's Degree in Visual Communication, and completed Advertising and Graphic Design studies at Humber College in Canada. For more than two years, I have been working at Newstead Academy, where I support and inspire preschool children through creative, hands-on art experiences. I enjoy helping young children explore, imagine, and express themselves through open-ended art activities that build confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of creativity. Throughout my career, I have also participated in group painting and photography exhibitions as well as community street art workshops. I believe art is a powerful way to inspire creativity, build confidence, and encourage self-expression in children and young artists.
