Bless This Toddler Mess

Preschool teacher for 7 years mostly with 1s, 2s, and 3s!

Energetic, imaginative, creative and relational! I include every area of child development in a way that not only increases idea connection and retention, but is engaging and fun for kiddos and teachers alike!

Only the praise of students and their parents ;)

Masters in Biological Sciences Bachelors in Cell Biology Bachelors in Music Music and science are what I thought I wanted to do - turns out teaching toddlers (and being taught by them) was what I was truly made for! So I use everything I have gained from my education to enrich their learning experiences and tie in STEAM to every activity!

I consider myself a MacGyver of toddler activities, discovering early on the “art” of creating fun with whatever I could find from painting with household items to creating a treasure map of our center and sailing the seas in search of treasure accompanied by fully dressed and bearded (drawn with eye pencil) swashbuckling tots! I believe every activity counts so my crafts, songs, books, sensory/STEM/social activities all fit together in a way that makes connections and supports the weekly lesson themes. I am known for tossing off my shoes and getting messy, real, and down to earth. In my class, messes are inevitable, dancing is an everyday occurrence, learning through experience is encouraged, and fun…is just unavoidable.
