Valerie Knight-Collier shares her teaching philosophies about working with the children in her classroom at Neighborhood House in the Portland neighborhood of Louisville. For the last 26 years, she has taught with love and passion, providing an environment where children grow and learn through play.  As she says, “I’m a firm believer that if you cover every situation with love, they will see a change.” She sees the bigger picture, that role modeling good choices for children and giving them a good foundation helps Portland grow too. “Our kids bloom and blossom right where they’re planted.”
