The lead teacher, Ms. Amanda, graduated from the University of Nebraska at Omaha with a BA in Elementary Education and an emphasis in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). She has also completed further education in the areas of the Science of Reading and Behavior Management.

While Ms. Amanda attended UNO, she worked at the UNO Childcare Center. She worked with children from the ages of toddler to preschool as a teaching assistant. After she graduated, Ms. Amanda taught fifth grade for one year, then three years of first grade in Papillion La Vista Community Schools.

Ms. Amanda enjoys painting, singing in the shower, and scrolling through Instagram for creative ideas. Ms. Amanda and her husband, Mr. Dave, have a two-year-old and love to explore and learn with him. Her little family is obsessed with their two cats, whom you may see roaming around during learning time. They even support a local cat shelter, Felius Cat Café.

Thank you so much for welcoming me to your [class] today. This was an absolute highlight of my day (my cheeks still hurt from smiling). Your [students] were so engaged in ALL parts of their guided reading lesson. This is definitely a result of your teamwork, reflecting, planning, pacing, and love for what you do and for THEM!

Jamie B, Principal

I have come to know Amanda as someone who is continually seeking ways to challenge herself, reflect, and to best meet students’ needs. The most significant characteristic of Amanda’s is her strong work ethic. She works closely with her grade-level teammates to plan comprehensive units that are driven by state standards and student data.

Megan J, Parent

I was so lucky to have Amanda as my youngest child's preschool teacher. Her energy, kindness, creativity, and brilliance with children were obvious in my child's excitement and comfort in seeing her. I always knew my kiddo was in good hands with Amanda. I highly recommend her to any parent who is looking for an incredible educational experience for their child. Full review here.

Amanda is a parents dream! ...I honestly couldn’t say enough good things about her or this new adventure where she’s building her own preschool. She’s got the brains, background knowledge, and passion to make it a success! I know that my daughter would not only thrive under her watch, but be truly cared for! Full review here.
