About Me

I have been teaching children in various capacities since 1993, so you can imagine I have done my fair share of crafts, songs, and circle times. I started as a day camp leader at a local recreation centre while in high school. Taught various preschool age and after school programs through university and worked as a reading tutor while pursuing a second degree in elementary education. After graduating with honors I set out to teach, ended up as a director of a large childcare center and preschool and returned to the classroom after a year realizing pretty quickly that I belong in a classroom not an office.  My son’s birth brought me home and my love of teaching and helping other parents sparked the idea for NTFFC.

Since starting NTFFC in early 2008 I have had the opportunity to contribute activities to some wonderful websites , become a staff blogger at FamilyEducation.com and write curriculum for Itty-Bitty Bookworm a literature based preschool curriculum.

Early childhood  education is my passion, despite my degree in elementary education my heart belongs to the little guys!
