About the store
Hi, I'm Seleste — a biologist, credentialed educator, and the creator behind the STEAM with Seleste 12-career STEAM curriculum. After 15+ years of working with young children and teaching up to 17 science classes a week, I built a complete PreK–2 curriculum from the ground up — one that takes kids on a year-long journey through 12 real science careers, from biologist to chemist to engineer and beyond. Every resource in this shop was designed, tested, and refined in a real classroom with real kids. My approach is hands-on, Montessori-inspired, and rooted in Conscious Discipline and Creative Curriculum principles — which means you won't find busy work here. Every printable hits multiple skill domains at once: science, literacy, math, fine motor, and critical thinking, all wrapped up in activities kids actually want to do. Each career unit spans one full month of instruction divided into weekly lessons, so whether you're grabbing a single activity or building out a complete unit, everything works together seamlessly. My shop is a living curriculum — new resources are added regularly as the full 12-career framework continues to grow. If you've ever wanted a STEAM curriculum that respects both your time and your students' intelligence, you're in the right place. Visit steamwithseleste.com to explore the full curriculum.

Teaching style

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Biology and a Staff Credential, bringing a strong foundation in life science and child development to everything I create. My academic background directly informs the depth and accuracy of my STEAM curriculum — from plant anatomy to physics concepts — ensuring that even the youngest learners are engaging with real, rigorous science from day one.

Awards & shining teacher moments

My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that children learn best by doing. Influenced by Conscious Discipline, Creative Curriculum, and Montessori principles, I design every activity to be hands-on, sensory-rich, and intrinsically motivating. I meet children where they are developmentally while gently pushing them further than they think they can go. My resources are intentionally designed to hit multiple skill domains at once — literacy, math, fine motor, science, and social-emotional learning — because real learning happens when the whole child is engaged.

My own education history

The STEAM with Seleste shop is built around an original 12-career STEAM curriculum designed for PreK through 2nd grade. Each of the 12 careers — including I Can Be a Biologist, I Can Be an Engineer, I Can Be a Chemist, and more — spans one full month of instruction, divided into structured weekly lessons. Every activity, game, investigation, and craft in this shop belongs to that larger framework, meaning when you buy one resource you are stepping into a complete, cohesive curriculum system. Whether you grab a single bingo game or build out a full unit, every piece is designed to work together seamlessly.

Additional biographical information

As a trauma-informed educator and survivor, I bring heart, resilience, and empathy into every lesson. My journey fuels my passion for creating safe, creative spaces where kids of all abilities can thrive. Blending science, art, and emotional growth, I believe learning should feel like healing, discovery, and joyful connection—all at once.
