I was a public school teacher for 9 years. After bringing baby #2 home from the hospital in 2013, I made the decision to put my teaching career on hold to stay at home and care for my children. After a year, I decided that I missed teaching, but loved being home with my own kids. So I opened up a preschool out of my home in 2015. My own two children are not in 3rd and 5th grade, but I loved teaching preschool so much that I opted to continue my in-home preschool rather than going back into a classroom.
