Hello! I am entering my 19th year in Early Childhood Education and my second year at Bamford. I have 3 boys of my own and my youngest is entering his last year at Bamford as a 5th grader. My other 2 attend Timnath Middle-High School. I grew up in Florida, but have been in Northern Colorado for over 20 years. I have my master's degree in Early Childhood Special Education from UNC, but continue to pursue my studies in Infant Mental Health and Autism. 

This year you will see your child take a deep dive into what we call "studies" instead of themes. We will work on a study for 4-6 weeks at a time to really get a good look at all there is to learn. Weekly newsletters will go out on Thursday or Fridays with important dates and information. 

If you have questions, please call or email.
