I am Miss Erin. I am married to Mike, and we have 5 children ages 8-17. I grew up in New Mexico and Oklahoma watching my mother teach kindergarten for 26 years. I loved going into her class and helping her get all of the projects ready for her classes!
Aside from being a busy soccer mom, my spare time is spent playing the keyboard in the Shane Lee Band, cooking, gardening , and hiking.
I graduated from Utah State University and with a degree in Music Therapy. I studied the effects of music on the brain and behavior. I was able to do my practicums in a special needs class where I worked especially with children who have autism. I also worked in a center for people with mental illnesses. I completed my internship in an assisted living center and nursing home. My two passions in life are music and children. I LOVE that I get to combine the two by teaching preschool!
My family moved to Lehi 10 years ago. We have loved it here and are proud to call it home. I have been very active in Snow Springs Elementary and Dry Creek Elementary’s PTAs and have been a regular volunteer in my children’s classrooms for the last 10 years. I am currently the secretary on the Lehi High School School Community Council. I love being involved with the schools! I have also taught piano for 15 years. Teaching is very rewarding to me, I love being able to see the successes of my students after they have worked hard to learn something!
My mission as a preschool teacher is to recognize the unique gifts of each child in my care. I pledge to nurture these gifts and provide a safe and stimulating environment. My goal is for each child to grow emotionally, socially, and academically. I am committed to laying the foundation of a lifetime of learning.
Hi, I'm Miss Mandy. I'm the mommy of 3 lovely girls and 1 handsome boy. I have been married to the wonderful Mr. Lloyd for 15 years. I love serving in my church and being involved in my community. I love all types of creating. I am a reader, writer, sewer, crafter, baker (not that great yet), and budget decorator. One of my goals in this life is to write children's books and historical fiction novels. One day... sigh.I have been running my home based preschool for 11 years now. I love children and delight in being able to be a part of their early education. What started out as a way for me to be involved in my oldest daughters early education has now turned into my passion.
My mission as a preschool teacher is to provide a warm, loving place where parents can feel good about leaving their children. I want to provide the children with an environment in which they can grow emotionally, socially, physically, and intellectually. I want to instill in the children a love of learning and a delight in discovering new things.
I want the children in my care to have fun and be excited and enthusiastic about learning because I provide fun and stimulation activities and materials. I want them to feel safe and secure, both physically and emotionally, and to feel that they belong.
I want to meet my responsibilities to my own family and respect their individual rights as I operate my preschool business in our home. I want to feel good about myself because I am growing and operating a successful business in which I am being rewarded monetarily and emotionally for the work that I do.
I am available at during the day to answer questions and address concerns parents have about their children. I will work more with children who need extra help in kindergarten readiness. I will provide more stimulation to children who have already met kindergarten standards.
I want to have fun with the children and hear them express their joys. I want to have parties and go on fieldtrips to explore the world around us. And lastly, I want to build lasting relationships with the children I teach and their parents. This is what it's all about!
