A Magical Place for Learning

Hi, my name is Chrissy Thompson and I am the owner and teacher at Storybook Cottage Preschool. I believe that social-emotional and relationship-based learning is vital in order to foster a child's development and future success in life. I truly enjoy taking part in a child’s preschool years as they make discoveries, engage with new friends, and test their ideas. It brings me so much joy to see the look of accomplishment on a child’s face when they do something they thought was impossible for the first time! My goal is to provide children with a safe and supportive environment where they have the freedom to learn according to their unique learning styles using meaningful interactions with fun and engaging hands-on exploration!

Qualifications

I have over 15 years of experience teaching in multiple preschool classrooms and child development centers. Most recently I worked as a co-op preschool teacher where I worked with children and families together to help parents connect with their children as they learned new ways to support their child's development and growth.

I have Bachelor's Degree in Human Development from Long Beach State University and a Master's Degree in Child Life Sciences from Azusa Pacific University. I have extensive training in Early Childhood Development and a Master Teacher of Early Childhood Certificate from Saddleback College.
