Hi, I’m Patricia Moore, an elementary teacher and reading specialist, turned homeschool mom. After our three kids graduated high school, I went back to school to become a marriage and family therapist and I’ve since specialized in children’s issues. I love helping families find all the fun and deep learning possible for their children. I’m so glad you’re here on Teach Mama and I look forward to helping you on your journey.
