Firefly Room Teachers

Hannah McCullough

Hello Little Beginnings Families, My name is Hannah McCullough and I am the lead teacher in the Firefly Room. I have been working at Little Beginnings since Sept. of 2009, and I have enjoyed every minute. I consider it to be such a privilege to be entrusted with the care of your children! Although I have the responsibility to help your children grow and learn, sometimes I think I am the one who is learning and growing the most! In my free time, I love spending time with family, friends, and our many pets at the house. I love boating, hiking, music, art, sports and movies…..too many interests and hobbies to make time for! I look forward to working with and caring for your children, if you have any questions or concerns, you know where to find me!

Ashley Spicher

Hello, I am Ashley Spicher, and I am the assistant teacher in the Firefly Classroom. I started working at Little Beginnings in January 2014, shortly after moving to the Twin Cities area. I grew up in Central Iowa, and am a small town country gal at heart! I am an Iowa State University Graduate, with degrees in Anthropology and History, and I worked in a child care facility while studying there. I wanted to continue working with children in a mission setting after I graduated, so I spent one year working at an emergency shelter for at- risk teens before moving here with my husband. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, kayaking, running, painting, antiquing, reading, and traveling. I am very excited to be working with your children and showing them Christ’s love through me. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak with me! I look forward to meeting all of you and building positive relationships with you and your children.

Firefly Room Info

Welcome To Our Class!

We are all about continuing your child’s learning and play development as they join us in the Firefly Room. In this room, we focus on building in learning opportunities as we play and have fun. We love to go with the flow of the day and see where the learning takes us!

Schedules

With FunShine Express Curriculum, we have a full day. We touch on things like literacy, math, science, art, social studies, and social skills.
Some special days in this room include Bible Time, Nature Room, Favorite Book Day, Show & Share, and Movie Day.

Outside Fun

We go outside to play as much as possible. We will use our brand new outdoor classrooms to not only get exercise and have fun, but explore nature hands on. We will get dirty while we play… but that just means we are truly having a good time!
We recommend rubber boots and croc-like shoes for the warmer weather and good snow boots for the winter.
