Early Childhood Education
Hello! My name is Grace Wingard. I have been working with preschool and primary students for 15 years. I have a Master’s in Elementary Education from William and Mary and am a lifelong learner. I have developed a passion for early education and am so excited to be teaching ECE again this year. My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that children learn most effectively when empowered by their learning, and the joy that comes with both embracing and encouraging a child’s innate sense of wonder, enthusiasm for discovery, and creativity. I strive, first and foremost, to create a positive and nurturing classroom environment, strong parent-teacher partnerships, and a canvas to create through play and inquiry. You can follow our learning on Instagram @ECEaviators. I am a Virginia Tech graduate (Go Hokies!) who grew up in Charlottesville, Virginia. In my spare time, you will find me hanging out with my husband and two young children, hiking, crafting, reading, and exploring the beauty of Colorado!
