Who am I?

I have wanted to start a preschool for a few years, and am excited to finally have space in my house to do it!

I received my BA from The University of Arizona in Psychology and got my Post-Bach Certificate in Elementary Education. I worked in a day care for just over a year, worked as a nanny for 3 years (substitute taught during that time), and taught 1st grade for a year before "retiring" to have babies. I love kids and enjoy watching them learn and grow.

My oldest child is at that age where she needs preschool. Her birthday misses the cut off, so she still has 2 years at home with me before kindergarten, but I want to get her ready for it! And that's where you come in. I will be teaching preschool for 4-year-old's, two days a week in my home. I would like to keep the class size low, preferable 6-8 kids. I will be posting more information as I get more organized, but wanted to get the word out. I plan to begin the fall session mid August, a couple weeks after the "big-kids" start school.

Please feel free to pass this blog address on~
