Welcome!
I am an Ontario teacher and Doctor of Education (EdD) candidate with many years of experience across primary grades and French Immersion.

I have a strong working knowledge of the 2016 Kindergarten Program and the significant shifts introduced in the renewed curriculum, including explicit language and mathematics foundations, coding, scientific inquiry, and updated expectations for assessment and documentation.
Get ready! My focus is all in on creating:
Ontario Kindergarten resources aligned to the 2026 curriculum
Play-based literacy and mathematics supports
Planning tools, long-range plans, and curriculum overviews
Assessment and documentation templates designed for real classrooms
