1 live meeting
30 mins in-class hours per weekClass Experience
Students will meet for 30 minutes a week to share and discuss current interests and activities with same aged peers. There is no prior skills needed and children are encouraged to bring whatever is of interest each week to share with their peers. Some examples include a favorite book or toy, a completed project or one they are currently working on, a picture of something fun or exciting they did that week, etc. Every week, students will also work together or along side each other playing games like hide and seek, color hunt, and scavenger hunts or completing projects such as building with legos, recycled art, working together on stories, etc. The class will include practicing giving constructive feedback, conversational skills, and receiving feedback in a positive manner, as well as other social skills. The class structure will be student led and flow naturally with modeling from the teacher when needed. This class is meant to be a positive social experience and each child will be able to participate at their own level! This class is a welcoming space for all neurodivergent learners regardless of diagnosis!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from University of Maryland, College Park
Hello to Everyone! My name is Miss Meghan and I can’t wait to meet your child. I enjoy teaching a variety of classes for preschool and early elementary ages.
I hold a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Special Education. At the beginning of my career, I worked extensively with children with autism in home settings designing programs to help students access the world around them in an empowering way. After my oldest daughter was born, I became a licensed childcare provider creating a home away from home for many children to grow and learn. When my youngest daughter was born, I decided it was time to explore other options and that is how I landed at Outschool. I am so grateful for this opportunity and love meeting new learners from all over the world.
I have a passion for instilling a love of learning in young children through exposure, messy play, and fun! I strongly believe that letting children delve into learning at their own level and allowing for different types of learning styles sets children up for a life long learning journey.
In addition to teaching on Outschool, I also homeschool my two daughters who are my pride and joy. I feel so grateful to have a career that I love that also affords me the opportunity to spend time with my own children as well. In my free time, I enjoy art, brainstorming new lesson ideas, cross stitch, and reading!
I offer science, art, language arts, social studies, math, and social classes for preschool and kindergarten age groups, as well as social groups for neurodivergent! Please feel free to message me with any questions!Reviews
