Hi there! My name is Ms. Kelli and I'm excited to get to know you. I live in Illinois with my husband and two sons, and we love having pizza night every Friday and playing family games. I've been teaching for 14 years and recently switched to teaching preschoolers which I love. Reading is my favorite subject to teach and I have certificates in Montessori Reading and Writing, Pedagogy and Dyslexia, and ADHD in Childhood. I also have a master's degree in business. My favorite color is purple, I love deep dish pizza, Chick-Fil A, frozen coffee, reading, and roller skating. Let's have a great year together! -Ms. Kelli
Testimonials
My just-turned-3-year-old and I love Little Tots! We started with Miss Kelli at age 2yrs, 8 mos, and after an initial assessment and some getting-to-know-you, Kelli tailored an education plan to my little one. We opted for a part-time schedule, 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week. Prior to class, every time my kiddo picked up a crayon or pencil, she would just scribble. No big deal, in my mind - she's a homeschooled toddler, raised in quarantine But literally the first week, watching other kids write on a Zoom class, my child wrote the letter "e," without prompting! By the end of 6 weeks, she was spelling and writing her first name, and I was one stunned Mama! I love that Kelli taps into the unique skills of each child, encourages each one to reach their full potential, and takes the time to ensure mastery before moving to the next developmental activity. We're on days of the week now, and just turned 3 a week ago!

Ms. Kelli is an awesome teacher for our 6 year old twins. She has been teaching them since Summer of 2021. They have learned so much. She is very patient and works the kids if they are struggling. My kids love her! I highly recommend Ms. Kelli.

She is the absolute best!!! My daughter first time attending school and she learned a lot. She was very engaged to each student and I love her work ethics. Even though my baby is now in kindergarten she still calls and checks in on my baby transition and progression. still offer help to assist her on weak areas. When I say I love how she works I mean it. She is the absolute best.
