Our Team

Director &  Teacher

I cannot tell you how excited I am to be starting The Children's Garden Preschool here in North Spokane! I have spent the last 13 years in education and currently hold a Washington State teaching license in elementary education with early childhood and English language learning endorsements. I also have a master's degree in curriculum and instruction. 

Over the last 13 years, I have been fortunate to teach kindergarten, first grade, and most recently K-5 as a reading and math interventionist for the Mead School District. 

I believe that EVERY child deserves an education that meets his/her individual and unique needs. There is not a one-size-fits-all approach to learning. My goal is to instill a love of learning through developmentally appropriate activities that engage children in meaningful ways. With a play-based and inquiry approach, our students will test their curiosity while also building independence.
