About Mommy E

Our children have many teachers throughout their lives. Some that teach manners and others that teach math. From parents and grandparents to siblings, friends and teachers; later our children become these very teachers that once taught them all of the important things in life that lead to the people they become as adults. I am fortunate to have been the teacher in many children’s lives as reading tutor, preschool teacher, friend, Auntie and most recently, mother.

I've loved kids even when I was one. I found every opportunity to teach as I grew older. In high school I was a Sunday school teacher and a tutor for my peers. I also began working at a home childcare in preparation for college where I studied Special Education and Early Childhood Development. While attending college I worked as a reading tutor and taught 2^nd and 3^rd grade summer school. I joined the Primrose team in 2003 where I worked as an Early Preschool teacher. I fell in love with Primrose  curriculum and later moved into my current role as Curriculum Director. I've had the privilege the last eight years to work as the Curriculum Director for Primrose Schools of Thornton, Stapleton and Reunion. I love that the Primrose curriculum educates our children as a whole; including a character development program, music, physical fitness and academics.  

Five years ago I began a relationship with a very special girl, Melanie. She is now my adopted daughter, now 11 years old. She has taught me so much and has prepared me for motherhood for another special little man to arrive. My son, Alex was born in September 2012.  I am proud to be mother and teacher to these two beautiful children! My husband also brought me into another role as Auntie with his very large family. I currently have 14 nieces and nephews!

 Someone once said, “It takes a whole village to raise a child”. I couldn't agree more with that statement. Children learn from everyone around them and it is our responsibility to make sure we are providing them with the best information and environment we can. Teacher is an important role, and one that takes a lot of time and patience.   My hope is that this blog will be another tool to partner with you, teachers of children, to bring a sense of balance to families as they nurture, encourage and promote the educational, emotional and psychological readiness of the whole child.
