About the store
I have been involved with child development and teaching since 1980. After many years of babysitting and daycare work, I became a Pre-K teacher for over 6 years before moving on to home school my 4 daughters who range from 23 to 7. It has been 7 years and many grade levels since we began this adventure.
Teaching these different groups of kids brings with it unique challenges at every turn which I have attempted to address in formulating my materials to be useful in as many different situations as possible. All of my lessons should be clear as to what size groups they are appropriate for, and often include variations for different sized groups.
