I discovered the Soulard School while I was a resident in Tower Grove and immediately fell in love with being part of such a close community.  I have a degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education as well as a passion for working with children.  I have spent time in the elementary and pre-k classrooms, but I have found my calling to work with toddlers.  I spent my first 5 years in an early childhood Montessori environment, a philosophy I have brought to the Nursery at Soulard School.  I am very spirited and love to be curious with my students.  To me, toddlers are the most fascinating people to observe; I can never get enough of their ever growing ideas and curiosity!
