Hello everyone! My name is Tinnelle and I’m so excited to be here! 

I have been working in early childhood education since 2000 and can’t wait to keep growing. Most of my experience has been in a Montessori setting from PreK teacher to assistant director and I’m excited to bring a little Montessori to my teaching here at Ridgewood! Meeting children where they’re at, emotionally and academically, and helping them grow individually is so important. 

I’ve been married since 2016 to my husband, Nick and we have two kiddos (and one on the way), and they love it here! I’m currently working on finishing my degree in Social Work and hope to help kiddos more in a way I can’t currently. 

I hope every student here feels loved and supported, and I’m excited to be a part of a great school! I hope my kiddos remember to always be kind and treat others the way you want to be treated!
