During their time in the Helpful Hippos classroom, the children will experience a morning circle time, small group activities centered around art, colors/shapes and texture table, and an outside recess time. Each child in our Helpful Hippos classroom is taking one nap a day, enjoying our nutritional menu, and learning to use utensils. Each child will be given an opportunity to be introduced to potty training as well. Our loving teachers will be spending time with all the children throughout the day.

Lead Teacher: Ms. Samie

Hi! My name is Ms. Samie and I am the lead teacher in the Helpful Hippos Classroom.

Growing up, I taught in my church nursery and fell in love with working with children. I would always play pretend school growing up.

I have my Associates Degree in Early Childhood Development. Teaching at Big Steps Little Feet reminds me of all of the dreams I had coming true! My dream is to teach children and help them to achieve their goals. I cannot wait to help your children to do that too. I am so excited to know your children more and see what they will become.
