About

Vanessa Levin is a passionate advocate for high-quality early childhood education

I have worked extensively with programs that serve English Language Learners and at-risk populations for two decades. I have served as a teacher, mentor, curriculum writer, specialist, and professional development consultant. I also enjoy using technology in the early childhood classroom to enhance instruction and increase student learning.

In addition to providing teacher trainings and workshops I enjoy helping teachers around the world via my website, Pre-K Pages. My professional development sessions offered throughout the U.S. and Canada place an emphasis on teacher-tested, hands-on learning activities designed to help all young children meet their full potential in fun, developmentally appropriate ways.

My journey in the field of early childhood education has spanned two continents, three states, and 20 years. I have taught pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, English as a Second Language, and Head Start. Most recently I served as an Early Childhood Specialist for a large, urban school district in the Dallas area.

A certified ESL, Early Childhood, and Elementary K-8 teacher in the state of Texas I have a degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Early Childhood and Language Arts from Michigan State University.
