About the store

Experience

Kindergarten Cafe supports kindergarten teachers with classroom-tested strategies and materials that help take stress off our plates and support our students better from arrival to dismissal. I am a current kindergarten teacher and I love sharing the strategies that I learn to help me work smarter, not harder, with other kindergarten teachers through my podcast - The Kindergarten Cafe Podcast - and my blog www.kindergartencafe.org

Teaching style

I believe in educating the whole child. Whenever possible, I try to include lots of play. I want my students to do most of the "work" - I believe in inquiry based science where children can grow their thinking through experiments and discussions. I meet my children where they are and work with them to help them develop! Want to know more? Check out my blog! www.kindergartencafe.org
