Meet the Teacher
Hello! My name is Amanda Wood, and I’m passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where young children can learn, grow, and thrive. With 25+ years of experience in early childhood education, I believe in the power of play-based learning and helping each child develop at their own pace.
My family and I have lived in Nixa for over 12 years. I’m happily married for 27 years and a proud mother of three amazing adult daughters. Family means everything to me, and I bring that same sense of care, patience, and love into my classroom every day.
I’m committed to fostering curiosity, kindness, and confidence in every child who walks through my door, and I look forward to being part of your child’s early learning journey!
