About Melinda

Empowering young learners to discover the joy of reading and master foundational skills is my greatest passion. With 19 years of experience in early childhood education, including a decade in kindergarten, I specialize in building confidence through patient, personalized support. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood Education and am a licensed teacher through the state of Minnesota. I assess your child's unique learning style by observing how they interact with new material then adapt my approach using visual aids, hands on activities, and real world connections. I prioritize clear communication with parents to ensure we are working as a team to reinforce learning at home. Whether your child needs help with math or developing a strong reading foundation, I am here to help them thrive. Reinforce current learning, fill in gaps, or get a jump start on learning yo read with a strong phonetic foundation! I look forward to helping your child grow.
