Lubna Haider

My name is Lubna Haider, I have earned my bachelor’s in education and Master’s in Islamic History from Pakistan and hold a CDA (Child Development Associate) certification from the USA. I have been a teacher for more than 32 years, 16 of those in the USA, working with students ranging in age from 4 to 10. My father was a university professor, and this fact served as my motivation as I began my road toward becoming a teacher. He instilled in me the value of education and how important teachers are to creating a better society. Personally, I adore children and like spending time with them. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found a career that allows me to spend time with them and educate them.
