Welcome!

Hi, I’m Kassie. I’m a kindergarten teacher with over 10 years of experience. I’ve taught a wide range of subjects in elementary schools, after school programs, preschools, and even private art lessons. I have a BFA in theatre with a focus on scenic design and art, and my master’s teaching permit for early childhood education. I’m currently furthering my education and professional development by obtaining my master's in art education.  

​

As an artist I enjoy photography and painting, enjoying the way I can manipulate light and shadows around an object or figure. While I have also created many scenic designs and costume designs throughout my years in theatre. I’m also a performing artist studying arial arts including trapeze.  

​

These all allow me the unique opportunity to provide exciting, engaging and fun learning opportunities for your child. As an educator I am blessed and grateful to be a part of your family's educational journey and your child’s development. I strive to create a safe, engaging, nurturing environment where your child feels comfortable and inspired to learn and create openly and honestly through an exploration of many materials and experiences.  

When I became a kindergarten teacher, I noticed there was a lack of arts integration into the curriculum. In order to enhance student learning and engagement I am integrating the arts into the standard curriculum within my own kindergarten classroom.
