Biography
“I am Marne Parmelee, NYS-Certified (N-6) teacher with 25 years full-time (4 years pt) experience teaching Prek, Kindergarten, & 1st Grade. I created Children’s STEM Garden, LLC, as a unique, in-home licensed PreK, to provide high-quality, Nature play opportunities in a space where children's Sensory Expressions can unfold in their own languages: sing, sculpt, draw, write, act out, dance, experiment, build, revise, negotiate, etc.
I encourage & support children to share ideas, question, explore, symbolize, problem solve, & create in unique ways, while developing Independence & meaningful, cooperative Social Relationships.”
