Helping Young Minds Learn, Grow, and Find Their Sparkle
For more than 25 years, I've dedicated my life to early childhood education — as a classroom teacher, a preschool owner, a curriculum developer, a children's book author, and a consultant to programs across the country.
I founded Full STEAM Ahead Center for Child Development, LLC because I believe every child deserves practical, engaging, brain-based learning experiences — and every adult who teaches or cares for a child deserves the tools to make that happen.
Out of that mission came Scootie & Friends Learning Lab — a colorful world of characters who guide children through literacy, math, science, art, movement, and social-emotional learning.
