We both hold a Master’s in Education with a focus on Elementary Teaching and bring 15 years of combined teaching experience to the table.

As new moms ourselves, we understand that raising a child truly takes a village. We’d be thrilled to be part of yours.

If you’re ready to put your hair up, pour a cup of coffee, and enter your teacher mom era, we’re here to support you. 🫶🏻

Oh, and did we mention that we’re both from California and neighbors?

About the Teachers

  • LITERACY SPECIALIST AND FOUNDER

    Reading and writing made my creativity run wild as a child! Knowing how to read and write well has made me a lifelong learner who believes that life is full of opportunities and possibilities! I want that for your kids.

    I hold a Master’s degree in Elementary Education and have eight years of teaching experience. I wrote my master’s thesis about nurturing a sense of belonging in multicultural classrooms. Throughout my career I’ve worked closely with students with learning difficulties. I’m always thinking of creative ways to support both neurotypical and neurodivergent learners.

  • COMMUNITY MANAGER

    I have seven years of teaching experience across 1st, 3rd, and 4th grades and hold a Master's degree in Education with a specialization in best teaching practices.

    My passion for literacy grew while teaching 1st grade, where I was able to support the journey of beginning readers. It is such a joy watching children have that "ah ha" moment when everything clicks for them! My goal is to inspire all children to see themselves as readers and writers.
