Tara $50 per hour for 1 child

I am an experienced early childhood educator with 5 years of teaching experience in early preschool and preschool classrooms. I specialize in supporting children ages 2 to 5 through engaging, developmentally appropriate lessons that build strong foundational skills in literacy, handwriting, and phonological awareness. I use trusted, research-based programs such as Handwriting Without Tears and Heggerty Phonological Awareness to make learning fun, hands-on, and effective. My goal is to help each child grow in confidence and readiness for kindergarten while fostering a love of learning

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
