About the store
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m an Early Childhood Special Education Teacher with 16 years of experience in the classroom. My mission at Pathway to Play is to bridge the gap between developmental play and intentional, inclusive learning.
Every resource in this shop has been "field-tested." I don't just design these on a screen, I use them every single day with my own students. I know the challenges of a busy classroom, the beauty of a breakthrough moment, and the vital importance of making learning accessible for all children.
Beyond my daily work with students, I have served as a Teacher Coach, guiding fellow educators in implementing best practices for early childhood and special education.
My resources are rooted in:
Inclusive Design: Ensuring every child can participate regardless of their starting point.
Evidence-Based Practices: Bringing research-backed methods into a playful, engaging format.
Teacher Efficiency: Creating tools that save you time so you can focus on your students.
I believe that play is the most powerful "pathway" to learning. Whether you are a veteran teacher, a new educator, or a parent, my goal is to provide you with the high-quality, developmentally appropriate tools you need to help your little ones thrive.
