We will also learn through songs, rhymes, games, and teamwork. This will be a math class like no other! Montessori Messy Math will be geared towards Preschool - 1st grade, or ages 4-7. If your child is outside of this recommend age range but you think they would still benefit, please feel free to include them!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Liberty University
Hello!
I am excited to meet your child in the classroom! I am a mother to two wonderful Children, Alyssa (11) and Felix (8). I am married to my loving husband, we are celebrating our 14th year of marriage.
I have my Bachelors of Science degree in Psychology: Child and Adolescent Development and graduated from Liberty University. I worked as the Child Advocate for a Women and Children's Shelter for 2 years, which then led me to become the Home Visitor for KidsFirst; I worked for KidsFirst for many years until my oldest was born. It was at that time, I discovered how poor the educational and daycare system was in our area. It was at that point that I opened a licensed, Montessori school for children ages 0-12. I was also a gymnastic coach for 8 years.
I am fluent in ASL and studied at Gallaudet University. I also earned my double certificate from International Academy. I teach American Sign Language (ASL), English as a Second Language (ESL), 1:1 Tutoring, as well as many specialty classes. I have been teaching ASL for over 11 years, around 7 years of which have been on Outschool.
In 2005 and 2006, I had the privilege to help start an orphanage in Jamaica; it was there that I spent two summers loving and taking care of the beautiful orphaned Jamaican children. In addition, I also spent over 7 years living in Canada, and have enjoyed traveling with my family to 12 countries and 49 States.
I absolutely love children; I have passion for teaching and helping children see the joy's of learning. I enjoy having a fun, interactive, enthusiastic, creative learning environment while teaching my classes. I find the children learn more when they are able to interact, ask questions, and enjoy learning together. We will do a lot of hands-on learning, so come prepared to get messy, learn, have fun, and ask questions! Learning can be fun!! I look forward to seeing you in the classroom!
