A teacher who built her own classroom
I spent years working in public school classrooms and childcare settings before I opened The Tot Spot, my own small preschool-prep program at home. Along the way I learned how to plan curriculum, fill a waitlist, set tuition and run a tiny school I love.
The Happy Teacher Studio is where I share all of it, so you don't have to figure it out alone.
- Master's degree in Early Childhood Education
- Nearly 15 years working with young children
- Founder of The Tot Spot preschool prep
