OCALA, Fla. — Eager students are constantly gathering around A+ Teacher Christin Fowler. She has found a way to create a multitude of magical learning moments with them at Creative Beginnings Preschool in Ocala.

When Spectrum News 13 recently stopped by Fowler’s classroom, students working together on their lessons. 

Fowler says seeing her students’ faces light up when they’re learning something new is really her favorite part of the job.

“I love how they’re inquisitive over everything and that we can explore; and questions are always asked and they’re intrigued in everything you do,” she said.

The preschool teacher tries to make sure there is never a dull moment.

“I’m a very energetic person — high energy myself. Very loud, so it’s like I fit right in with them. These are the beginning steps of their lives, so to be a part of it is rewarding.”

With 14 years of teaching under her belt, she’s getting a chance to actually see the impact she’s having on her students.

“I still talk to some of them and some of the kids still come in here and they’re like, ‘Can we come and visit Ms. Christin?’ When I’m out shopping, they run up to me and they’re like, ‘Ms. Christin’ and they’re like, ‘What are you doing here?’” she said. “I love keeping in contact with everybody like some of the families and seeing where they’re at in life and some of the kids. It feels great.”
