Owner & Teacher

Hi, my name is Miss Hannah.

I grew up playing school as a young girl. School has always been a place of home for me. I grew up with my favorite teacher being my mom, she worked in DPS all through my youth.

I have taught & worked with children for nearly two decades. I love watching children grow into magical humans!

Throughout my career, I have filled the role of the lead teacher in 4 learning environments in Colorado, learning how each business operated differently to find my niche in the market.

I was blessed to open an incredibly well-known school in the Hale-Mayfair, Denver neighborhood I grew up in. That serves a huge community in Denver.

I went to school to create my major at MSU Denver, with a Bachelor of Arts in Individualized Studies: Administration for Early Learning Facilities. I started the major to know how to run a business & work with kids, the best of both worlds! During COVID-19’s shutdown, another educator & I were able to start a pod for a community in Hilltop, Denver. This tight group of friends could get together & learn while staying safe! This idea of a small group stayed in my philosophy.

The community has been waiting for a school like The Little School; a small learning environment, that grows from love, and teaches children how important our earth & being outside are.

The idea of having a close community you can call on is why we are doing it; we love our families like they are our own.

The first class for toddlers & twos has been operating for over a year, and we can not wait to complete our final group of six children, as we navigate Denver’s Preschool Program and change the education system,

I am constantly educating myself on new research within the early childhood community. I love to read & I am a math nerd! I am daydreaming of the day I am able to go back for a Ph.D. in Early Childhood Education research; based on the philosophy I have created with the low ratios.

Summer of 2022 The Little School first opened its doors, & I ran summer camps for specific themes.

In this photo, we are exploring the space camp theme.

Awards & Recognition:

In 2023 Miss Hannah took a huge leap, leaving my corporate director position to open my doors and start enrollment. The first six months were incredibly difficult to navigate through unknown territory. However, thanks to my wonderful friends and my families I have been able to find the flow in this business. I am so honored for the work I can do daily. Every day I am thrilled that I can teach and be present for these wonderful children.

I am blessed by the teachers that have worked with me. I can not wait to see my dream grow into a beautiful vision I received from the universe.
