Philosophy of Education

My name is Stacy Hewitt, and I hold a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from Lincoln University, Pennsylvania, where I graduated as a proud member of Kappa Delta Pi. I also earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from Chestnut Hill College, graduating Summa Cum Laude.

My passion for education began in elementary school and has grown stronger with every stage of my journey. I firmly believe that when children have positive, nurturing experiences in their early years, they build the confidence and curiosity needed to thrive academically and socially throughout life.

As an educator, my goal is to create meaningful relationships with children, parents, and the community. I strive to cultivate a classroom environment where every child feels safe, valued and supported. By partnering with parents, who are a child’s first teachers, we create a bridge of trust that helps children feel secure, inspired and ready to learn.

When children see the genuine connection between their parents and their teacher, they are more open to forming relationships, embracing new experiences and engaging fully in the learning process. Together, we can nurture not only their growth and development but also their sense of belonging and joy in learning.
