About Jen

I've been working with children (and parents) for more than 20 yrs, approximately half of that time has been in a classroom setting as an infant/toddler/preschool teacher, and the other half was spent as a home visiting lactation educator, postpartum doula and/or nanny. I also homes chooled my own two kids for 3 of their early elementary school years and during that time ran a home school co-op at my little hobby farm. I went to school for early childhood education long ago, but have stayed committed to continuing education throughout the last two decades, most recently I took a course on executive functioning brain development in the early childhood years at community college. My early childhood strengths are in art and socio-emotional development as well as anti bias education and developing a strong concept of one's self as a learner and community member.
