Teaching children has long been one of Mrs. Crose’s greatest joys. It energizes and excites her to see that “Aha!” moment or to see her student's inquiring minds light up. The honesty, openness, and enthusiasm of children has always been something she enjoys and appreciates.

She strives to instill in the students a love for learning and motivate them to be self-driven learners.
