Hi, I'm Hanna, an early childhood teacher who loves making your day a little easier and a lot more joyful! For over 15 years, I've learned and taught alongside children and fellow educators in Germany, England, Dubai, and the United States. Today, I support teachers as a Program Coordinator and create hands-on activities for toddlers through kindergarten. Every resource in my store is teacher-made and shaped by real classroom experiences.
Teaching style
My teaching style is joyful, hands-on, and rooted in curiosity. I believe children learn best when they explore and ask questions—whether they're acting out stories, experimenting with materials, or solving problems as a team. My approach combines Reggio Emilia, Montessori, and play-based learning. I focus on early STEM, science, and coding without screens and design resources that invite thinking, conversation, and open-ended play.
Awards & shining teacher moments
One of my favorite moments was guiding a group of preschoolers as they built an ice cream delivery robot using Cubetto and recycled materials. Watching their persistence unfold was a powerful reminder of what children are capable of when given the right tools and freedom. Experiences like these inspire many of the resources in my store.
My own education history
I have a Master's degree in Education and Media with a focus on early childhood and digital learning, as well as a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I also completed five years of formal teacher training in Germany and continue to pursue professional development in STEM, leadership, and curriculum design.
Additional biographical information
Outside the classroom, you'll find me cycling around Boston or heading out for a run. I love connecting with teachers from around the world and sharing resources that make teaching feel inspiring and doable. I also work with educators beyond the classroom and welcome inquiries. Your reviews truly mean a lot, as they help me grow and refine resources. Thank you!
