About the store
With nine years of experience in early childhood education, I am currently a first grade teacher who is deeply passionate about helping little learners build strong foundations. Although I have a background in biology, my heart has always been in the primary classroom, where I can nurture curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning. I am especially passionate about teaching phonics and early reading skills, and I believe that empowering young students to become confident readers is one of the most meaningful parts of my work. I also believe strongly in bringing fun and play-based learning into the classroom, creating engaging, hands-on experiences that make learning joyful and meaningful for young children. Creating purposeful, developmentally appropriate resources that balance rigor with play is truly where I feel called to be.
