About Me

Picture taken Sept 2011 (yes... I need an update!)

Hi.  I'm Amanda.  My students call me Miss Amanda.  I am married to my best friend and have 3 beautiful babies.  2 girls and 1 boy.  I graduated from Utah State University in December of 2007 with a bachelors degree in Special Education with an Emphasis in Early Childhood Education.  During my college career I spent many many hours working in preschools around cache valley and enjoyed every minute of it. 

Shortly after graduation (it was actually on the very day of graduation), I had my first baby girl.  At that time I chose to be a stay at home mommy and have since added 2 more children to my now family of 5.  Being a mom is my number one priority and I have loved every second that I have been able to be home with them. 

I have always wanted to teach again and I felt like this was the right opportunity for me to do so.  I dipped my toes in this last January and taught for half of the year.  Loved it!  I'm jumping in head first now and running two separate age groups.  My pre-kinders (those who will be entering kindergarten the following year) and my little kiddos who are just getting started (those who are 3 years old by Sept 1st).  I am commited to creating an environment for my students that is comfortable, fun, creative and allows little minds to learn and grow.  I believe that parents and families should be involved in learning and I like to spread my teaching to the home environment as well through caregivers.  You are your childs' number one advocate for learning.  Thank you for considering me and I hope that we can work together in the beginning of a life long journey of learning for your child.
