My name is Ms. Banks and I am so grateful to work with you and your child because early childhood education is one of my greatest passions. 

“Children learn as they play. More importantly, in play, children learn how to learn.”
– O. Fred Donaldson, play researcher and specialist. 

I studied at Fontbonne University for my undergraduate degree in Early Child Education and then went to Lindenwood University for graduate school. At Lindenwood I recieved a Master in Education and a certification in reading for K-12. I have been teaching for over 20 years and the last 10 years I have been here at Froebel!

I am from St. Louis but also enjoy exploring new places! I hope to be able to continue traveling and experiencing different cultures in the future. I have at two beautiful daughters and two small dogs. I love cooking and spending time with family and friends. 

I look forward to working with your family and getting to know your child this year!
