Mute Policy I will use the mute button when needed. I will only use it if the background noise is too loud for the other learners and myself. Please note that I like to have each learner have a voice. Talking on the phone or general loud noise can be very loud and it is hard to hear the other learners and myself. I will ask the learner to mute it if the background is too loud. Please make sure your learner knows how to use the mute button. Please only use the mute button when needed. Learners Please make sure your learner comes prepared to class with supplies and worksheets. I also ask that each learner not jump, climb, and leave during class if possible. I know sitting can be challenging, but I ask that each learner try. We will be dancing and singing during class this allows your learner to get the wiggles out. Worksheets I will post worksheets one week before class begins. I ask that you provide your learner with worksheets. If you do not have a printer and can't get copies, please make sure your learner has paper and something to draw with. We will be doing cooking and art projects.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, and welcome to my class! I'm Abby. I have over 30 years experience working with children ages 2-16. For many years, I was the co-owner, director of instruction, and lead teacher for J & A Daycare Center. I also have many years of experience caring for and teaching children through nannying and private home daycare, including children on the autism spectrum. (I have such a heart for children with special needs!) For the past five years, it has been my joy to homeschool my 20-year-old daughter. It is exciting to see her thriving and enjoying learning!
My teaching style is warm, creative, and fun. I am passionate about teaching young children! I love to encourage children and make sure they feel welcome. My goal for my classes is for every child to walk away smiling and feeling like they had a good time!
My husband, daughter and I make our home in Athens, GA. I enjoy wood painting, coloring, cooking, and crafts. I am so excited to meet and teach your child!Reviews
