Get to Know Heather Skousen

 

Working with the young children is such a blessing. The innocence of a child is truly the most beautiful thing. I am excited each day to have a chance to look at the world through their eyes.

Why did you choose this particular career path?

It’s the old saying, ‘I love children.’ But in reality it’s the satisfaction that comes from when a child learns something new and they are so proud of themselves.

What I love about working at Risen Savior

It’s a peaceful place, everyone is wonderful. All of the teachers and staff really care. 

Favorite children’s book

“Good Night Moon” by Margaret Wise Brown.

Why I love the mud kitchen

 It’s a terrific place for our children to use their imagination.

 Everyday, my students teach me…

That love is unconditional.

Favorite cooking activity

Making pudding together…then eating it!

I enjoy sharing info with parents about their child because...

Open communication with parents is so important. We nurture mutual respect and work together in the best interests of their child.

Many people are surprised that young children...

Are so capable of so much! They often think because a child is a certain age they can’t do something. But often, they can!

At the end of the day, I feel terrific when I think about....

I’m happy because I gave my all to my work, and offered so much love to my young students.
