About your teacher Claire:
​
Hi, my name is Claire and I live in Whitley Bay in North Tyneside. I am a fully qualified
teacher that specialises in teaching in the early years. I have also gained qualifications in
special educational needs and have worked as a SENCO in schools. I have worked in
Nurseries and Children’s Centres for 18 years and have real passion for not only working
with young children but with parents/caregivers too!
I wanted to become part of The Story Frog Phonics as I am passionate about the importance
of ‘getting it right’ in the early years, to give children the skills and confidence to develop in
early literacy, to help them succeed in their learning journey. I want to empower
parents/caregivers to help support them as they are key to a child’s learning and
development.
I am mum to a 11 year old lively little boy who loved stories from a baby. He has autism and
ADHD. Pre-school groups were always difficult for us and it was often hard to find other
parents who could relate. I will be running dedicated classes for children with additional
needs and their parents/caregivers for this very reason!
I can’t wait to meet you and your child and start our story frog adventure together.
