Here is more info about Emily, you can contact her at emily@arkansasearlychildhood.org.
Emily comes to us with 10 years of experience in the early childhood setting ranging from Floater to Asst. Director and School-age Coordinator. During that time her accomplishments include an Associate’s Degree in Liberal Arts, Conscious Discipline training for both Infants & Toddlers and Preschool through School age, Directors Orientation, and a member-at-large position for Arkansas Early Childhood Association of Central Arkansas. She grew up in North Little Rock, AR in a military family and graduated from Premier High School of Little Rock. She now lives outside of Conway, AR with her husband, Justin, two daughters, Audrey and Daisy, and their family’s chocolate lab, Grizzly. In her free time, she enjoys exploring the outdoors, traveling with her family, reading mysteries, and attending her daughters dance, horseback riding, and volleyball activities.
Emily believes that the most important piece of the Early Childhood field is the teachers who are making an impact on the children in their care and their families every day.
“I have enjoyed every step of my classroom experience and am grateful for the opportunities I have had with each age group. It has shown me that no matter what the age of the child, they are learning, growing, and deserving of age-appropriate care. It also reveals that there is a huge need for support for teachers in the field both educationally and financially. Early childhood educators set the foundation for physical, social, and emotional development for the rest of the child’s life. They are building their brain! It is important to not only recognize them in a professional light but to support them by making a pathway to higher education possible. I am beyond honored to be part of a team who sees that value and is actively working to make higher education achievable. T.E.A.C.H. is setting this tone in providing a way, and the teachers and directors who take this path are leading the revolution in Arkansas to a better future for EC educators, children, and families. I am so humbled and excited to help along the way!”
