Meet our teacher: Amber Bowman

“It’s my priority to create a nurturing environment, celebrating the unique learning journey of each child.”

She has a Bachelor of Music degree and K-12 teacher certification from Western Michigan University, with continuing education on early childhood development. She has a combined 15+ years teaching experience at schools across the state.

Her background in music allows her to weave music and rhythm into every day. You’ll hear her strumming her ukulele to lead everyone in singing the Hello Song at the start of Circle Time!
