Meet the Teacher
Hey there! I’m Ashley Reed—a current public-school pre-k teacher who once got accepted into OT school but realized my heart belonged in the classroom, not the clinic. Fun Fact: I may be the only teacher you’ll ever meet who hates coffee!
And after more than 20 years of teaching little learners, I know exactly what it takes to juggle academic demands while still protecting the magic of play. I share classroom-tested ideas that make balancing academics and play feel doable.
