Tweenies

Ashley Lewis and  Vanessa Palma 

MS. ASHLEY: 

I am looking forward to my third year with Lil Goldman School but bring a wealth of experience with me.  I have been in Early Childhood Education since 2007 - teaching, serving as an Infant & Toddler Education Coordinator, and was an Assistant Director.  I received my MA at Pensacola Christian College.  

I am married and we have one fur-baby named, "Buck".

I'm looking forward to watching the Tweenies learn and grow.  They are a sweet age group and bring excitement to school every day.

Ms. Vanesssa:

I started working at Lil Goldman in early 2022 mainly in the Infant rooms. I love working with Tweenies because they're so happy, silly and curious. Prior to working at Lil Goldman, I was a fulltime caregiver to my grandfather and my aunt as well as being a part time nanny to my nephews. I have 3 nephews and 1 niece. 

I am looking forward to this year and taking care of your babies!

Our Tweenies class is the older Toddlers (20-30 months).  These Toddlers are learning to be independent in eating and following simple directions. The main goals for this room are language acquisition, social/emotional development, and motor skills development.  Being in the Tweenies age group means playing is learning and that learning is fun!
