Miss Laura
Pre-K, Preschool/Family Day Facilitator 

​My name is Miss Laura, and I’m excited to step into the role of classroom facilitator. This will mark my third year as part of our awesome Co-Op family(first as a parent, now as the facilitator).  I graduated from Walla Walla University with a Master’s Degree in Teaching with secondary certifications. Following a year teaching at an international school in Thailand, I returned to WA to marry and start a family while working as a substitute teacher.

Since the start of my parenting journey, I have primarily stayed home with my children, though I have continued to work occasionally as a district substitute. My three kids are Elaina (9), Christopher(6), and Robin (5). With the advent of motherhood, my teaching style has shifted to a focus on social-emotional skill building, play-based learning, and a love of integrating music and movement into the classroom experience.

My family has attended NW Parent Co-Op for the past two years. I love the co-op preschool model as it keeps parents so involved in their child’s learning. As a parent, YOU are your child’s first and most influential teacher. Co-Op supports you in that role as well as providing many opportunities to learn from others. I look forward to sharing this year with you!
