Lindsey has been teaching preschool classes since 2011. She emphasizes teaching to the whole child, giving students the opportunity to practice interacting with peers, engaging in independent decision-making, working to regulate emotions, being flexible thinkers, and becoming more resilient. She is a parent of multiple neurodivergent children and knows how life-changing it can be for children to be accepted, understood, and loved in a supportive environment. She is honored to be able to provide this for her students. Spectra has been an exceptional support for her son and she is very excited to be an integral part of the Preschool department and Spectra team.
