What I Do

I encourage children to play and explore while working with a team to provide nurturing connections and safe spaces where play and exploration can happen.

How I Got to Family Preschool

In college, I took a part time job working with preschoolers with autism. After graduating with an unrelated degree, I re-enrolled to study education.

Interesting Fact

When I was young, city kids in Iceland could spend their summers on farms. I came away with countless cherished experiences.

Most Important Teaching Lesson Learned

Curiosity isn’t just essential for children.

Favorite Movie

I usually can’t sit still long enough to watch a movie, but I’d love suggestions for something lighthearted and funny.

Favorite Children’s Book

I love the books that get big reactions from children when we read together. Books designed for expressive read-alouds with silly voices or ones that foster joint exploration are fondly remembered in my household.

Why I Like Working at Family Preschool

Family Preschool has a warm, welcoming atmosphere and it feels good to be there.
