Hi there, I'm Alicia! I'm here to help teachers and parents like you create a fun, engaging learning environment and enhance your lesson plans with exciting, interactive activities. I create resources to save educators time and energy, so you have more to give to yourself and your family! I have been in the education field for 12 years and have taught preschool, pre-k & kindergarten as well as school-age afterschool and summer camp. I spent six years as a childcare administrator, working with children ages 6 weeks-12 years and two years as a small-group phonics instructor for ages 2-5. I stepped away from my career in 2019 when my own three children were diagnosed with a life-threatening rare disease. During their treatment and isolation period, I set up their own personal home preschool learning environment and created and implemented lessons and activities to meet their needs and interests.

Early childhood educators have the opportunity and responsibility to spark a lifelong love of learning! I believe learning should be hands-on, collaborative, interactive and FUN! Lessons and activities should consider the individual needs and interests of all students.

I was named "2014 Best In Class" of all teachers in our district while teaching preschool.
