About Lily

Hi there! I'm a certified teacher with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education (K-8), a reading endorsement, and experience teaching students in kindergarten through 12th grade in East Valley and Spokane Public Schools. I have specialized experience working in Direct Instruction (DI) special education classrooms, particularly with children on the autism spectrum and nonverbal children. I strive to create a patient, structured, and supportive environment where every child can thrive. For the past four years, I've coached and directed youth sports camps with Skyhawks, working with children ages 4-12. I'm also pursuing a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, which has strengthened my understanding of child development and emotional well-being. I'm passionate about providing safe, dependable, and engaging care while building positive relationships with every child and family.
