Meet Chelsey

Hi! I’m Chelsey Speer. I enjoy teaching all skill levels and ages, and I love seeing how excited kids get when they learn new things. Each year, every class of students is a little different, and I like the challenge of coming up with new ways to meet their needs. I know that we're going to have a lot of fun as we learn together.

I grew up in the Kent/Auburn area, and I love calling this area home. After earning my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood/Special Education, I began my teaching career at a local private pre-school. I then taught four years as a special education preschool teacher in the Auburn School District. My classes included a near even mix of general education students and students with special needs. In 2018, I decided to branch out and start a preschool of my own. It has been a truly rewarding experience to be able to teach in a small personal setting and really get to know my students and their families.
