Hi, I’m Elle

I’m here to support both you and your child.

Sometimes it can feel confusing or overwhelming to know how to support your child with reading and writing. Those feelings don’t mean you’re not doing a good job, it means you care. You don’t have to do this alone. I’m here to support both you and your child, helping your child build confidence while giving you the reassurance and support you need along the way.

That’s exactly why I created this enrichment program at Little Town Play Café. It’s a space where children can grow their confidence with early reading skills in a small, supportive group, and where parents can feel reassured that their child is learning in a way that’s playful, engaging, and developmentally right for them.

I’m a certified Orton-Gillingham educator and literacy specialist. Orton-Gillingham is a highly respected, research-based approach to teaching reading. It’s multi-sensory, structured, and personalized, which means I meet children right where they are and help them build skills step by step.

In our classes, I use the principles of structured literacy, an approach proven to help all learners, especially those who may struggle with reading. This means your child will get explicit, clear instruction in areas that are essential for strong reading growth:

Phonological & Phonemic Awareness - building the foundation for sounding out and recognizing words.

Letter-Sound Knowledge - making connections between print and spoken language.

Confidence & Independence - children not only learn to read but begin to see themselves as readers.

Parent Testimonial —

“We have observed a remarkable emotional and academic growth in our girls! When they started school the feedback we received from their school was that both kids were reading above their grade level (scoring at the top of their class). She makes learning fun, focuses on boosting her student’s confidence, helping them find their voice and making sure they are aware and proud of their talents and accomplishments.”

Parent Testimonial

“Elle channels our daughter’s energy in ways that have developed her interests in reading & art. Our daughter is yet to start kindergarten but she is already reading picture books fluently. We also noticed how compassionate she is towards others, which is a true reflection of Elle. We are absolutely thankful to her!”

Parent Testimonial —

“The education that she has provided my children is unparalleled to any other setting I have seen or heard of while raising three children, followed closely by the love and compassion that she has for my kids. She has a vested interest in seeing them succeed both academically and as individuals. Our 4-year-old son is currently reading at a 1st grade level, I attribute all of that to Elle and her teaching style. She puts so much thought and preparation into her lesson plans, and constantly has status meetings with us to ensure that we are happy with the service that she is providing.”
