Co-Founders

We are educators who went into teaching as eighteen-year-old bright eyed students who wanted to desperately make a difference in the lives of children. After over 20 years of teaching thousands of kids in various settings, it was abundantly clear that we wanted to do more. No two children are exactly alike; we have taught students who need to be challenged and students who need additional support, however that challenge and support may look and feel different for each child. We believe that kids should always be seen, heard, respected, and receive the support they need to be strong, confident, and happy people.

There are so many ways to support children and their families. Over the years, two of the most common educational concerns have been literacy and the 504 and special education processes.

We are passionate about fostering a lifelong love of reading and providing the tools and roadmaps needed to be a successful reader. Research has proven that children need to explicitly be taught how to read and that it is not a skill that just comes naturally. Multi-sensory approaches such as Orton-Gillingham, Wilson Reading, and the Science of Reading have revolutionized how students learn to read.

We are staunchly devoted to families as they navigate the 504/ IEP processes. This can often be an overwhelming time full of uncertainty and confusion. We will listen with compassion, brainstorm, answer questions, and coach caretakers be the best advocate for their children. We also have a dedicated team of non-legal advocates ready to walk beside families throughout the journey.

As moms, we whole-heartedly understand the constant desire for caregivers to want to give their children the world. When our children are sick, we wish we had a magic wand to make them better again. When our children are in school, we hope that they are being loved and celebrated as much as they are at home. We hope that they are being given the tailored academic instruction that they need to reach their fullest potential. We want this for our own children and we are dedicated to always doing right by yours! We will treat your family as though they are our own.

    I have been an educator in New Jersey for over a decade with my Masters Degree in Elementary and Special Education from Rutgers University. I was trained in the Orton Gillingham Multisensory Reading Program by the Institute for Multisensory Education, which completely transformed my perspective on how reading instruction needs to be executed, as well as the way that I now teach literacy skills to children. Having taught students in both general and special education across a variety of public, private and homeschool settings, I’m passionate about meeting all of my students exactly where they are. Whether they need to be challenged or supported in a tailored and individualized manner, I am there to provide the learning experience they need to thrive.

I hold degrees and certificates in general and special education and I am a reading specialist. I value the relationship between teacher and caregivers, am a fierce advocate for students, and strongly believe that every child should be respected and honored both in and out of the classroom.
