Teacher expertise and credentials

Greetings, my name is Ms. Wells! My Outschool classes are designed for children ages 3-7 who enjoy learning through music, movement, and hands-on fun!  I will be teaching classes centered around reading, science, history, math, and preschool skills.  My goal is for my classes to be engaging, educational, and child-centered. 

I have studied Early Childhood Education, and I taught Preschool and Kindergarten for 13 years before becoming a stay-at-home mom.  Preschool and kindergarten-age children are my favorite to teach.  I enjoy watching them learn and discover something new about the world. As a teacher, my goal is to help my students develop a passion for learning.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my children!  We enjoy baking and cooking together, we truly enjoy experimenting with new recipes.  My family and I also enjoy taking our daily walk, staying active is very important to me.  I look forward to helping your student learn and grow!
