My name is Diana and I love helping kids and families grow together through learning and play. In these uncertain times, more parents than ever are being challenged with the task of teaching their young children at home. Moms and Dads are already wearing so many hats. Caregiver, chef, housekeeper, referee, coach, cheerleader, nurturer, minister, nurse, event coordinator, and now teacher. This can be overwhelming for any parent!
I’m a teacher
I have a degree in early elementary education and years of experience teaching both kindergarten and preschool in the public and private sectors. My background and experience can help you build a strong foundation for higher learning, to kindergarten and beyond.

And a mom
I am a mom of 5 (yes you read that right) boys, I keenly understand the highs and lows of raising young children. I know how it feels to have your heart burst with joy when your baby takes their first steps, or sleepily whispers, “I love you” at the end of a hard day, or learns to read his name for the first time. I also know how it feels to cry with frustration when your child is the last one chosen in the kickball game, struggles to learn to add or tells you “no!” for the 147th time in a day.
Yes, parenting is a roller coaster ride! We are on this crazy ride together. While I may not have all the answers, I can be your trusted resource for helping your child make their earliest educational steps.
