Teacher Sam
Teacher Sam lives in Olympia with her husband and their three children. Originally from Portland, Oregon, her family has been in the Olympia area since 2010. She enjoys reading, crafting, thrifting, attending concerts, and going on adventures with her kids.
Sam has been part of the co-op community since 2015, when her oldest child began attending the preschool. All three of her children have attended the program, and the co-op has been an important part of her family’s life for many years.
In 2025, Sam began her first year teaching at the preschool. She currently teaches Yellow Class (3-year-olds) on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings and Blue Class (4-year-olds) in the afternoons. She is also working toward her Early Childhood Education (ECE) degree and is passionate about supporting young children as they learn through play, exploration, and community.
