Hi there! I'm Emily. I'm originally from Fort Collins, CO, but relocated to the midwest to be with my family in Traverse City, MI. I have two children of my own, ages four and two. When I lived in CO, I passed my teaching license test after getting my degree in Human Development and Family Studies with a concentration in Early Childhood Education.

I have worked with children for 19 years now as an elementary school teacher, substitute teacher, Sunday school teacher, day care assistant teacher, and nanny. I believe that childhood is precious, that children learn best through play, and that children especially thrive when they are surrounded by a community and environment that’s supportive of them and their interests.

The majority of my time teaching has been with children ages five through eight, and I am looking forward to working with some families with children in these early elementary grades. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions you may have, looking forward to meeting you!

Common Core

Common Core

Most recently, I have been substitute teaching for early elementary grades in the Traverse City area. Before substitute teaching, I was a Kindergarten teacher in 2016-2017. The year previous to that, I was a student teacher in a Kindergarten IB World school. I also was an assistant teacher at a daycare in college.
Homeschool

Homeschool

I have started homeschooling my own four year old this year. I was homeschooled myself and in homeschooling co-ops growing up so I am very familiar with the concept, curriculums, and resources available to these families. I also was an elementary school teacher myself for many years.
Phonics

Phonics

I have worked with many students over the past decade in teaching and assessing literacy and phonics skills in elementary schools. I also a have a degree in Human Development and Early Childhood Education from Colorado State University.
