Amber Black

Director/Teacher

Hello! I am so excited for another year with Little Garden Preschool in Medford. I have merged parenting and teaching for the last 20 years and am currently working on my Master of Education degree with an emphasis on Leadership in Early Childhood Education from SOU. I am a mother of 5 with a B.S. from BYU in Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education. I have taught in Utah, Taiwan, New Jersey, South Carolina, Arizona, and California. While moving from place to place I have taught public school, private school, and ran my own preschools. My favorite age group to teach is preschool and kindergarten. I love watching young children absorb everything they are exposed to. I find great joy in fostering a love of learning, bonding through quality literature, and expanding their view of the good things around us. I am so excited to get to start a new adventure with your children.
