The Pea Pod Room

We have the very important role of caring for your child and encouraging their development in their first year.  Our goal is to provide a high quality, nurturing and safe environment.  Our hopes for your child are to encourage them to grow into a wonderful, curious and happy person.  All activities are designed to stimulate their physical, intellectual, social and emotional growth.

Amanda, Pea Pod Teacher

Hello!  My name is Amanda and I have been working at The Learning Gardens since April, 2024.  I love working with kids because they are fun!  I believe children learn best through play and by example.  I am passionate about creating a safe and nurturing environment for all children.

I have worked in the Early Childhood Education Field since 2021.  I have worked with 6 week olds up to 1 1/2 years old.  I am a Level 12 on the Wisconsin Registry.  I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Consumer and Family Studies from Colorado State University.

I grew up in Illinois and Colorado.  I have lived in Madison since 2014.  I have a wonderful young son as well as two cats (Mitsy and Ruby).  In my spare time, I like to shop, watch Reality TV, and spend time with family.
