I obtained my Master\u2019s Degree also through Eastern Michigan University in the area of Autism.\u00a0I enjoy spending time with my family, golfing, crossfit, and walking my dog Harlee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teaching is what I was born to do. &nbsp;It is a job I love and I feel blessed to spend the day with your child. &nbsp;I look forward to a great year of exciting learning experiences with the students. &nbsp;It is my goal to provide a safe and nurturing environment where your child can develop a love for learning and find great joy and strength in communicating with me and others. &nbsp;&nbsp;You will hear from me often through the classroom website about what we are doing in class and about special activities or events that are coming up. &nbsp;If you ever have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. &nbsp;Your support and input are most valuable to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amber Fontana<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Special Education Teacher<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>22586 Ann Arbor Trail<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dearborn Heights, Michigan 48127<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>313-827-7000<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings, Welcome to the PreK classroom for children with Autism.
