Molly recently retired after 33 years of teaching early childhood education. Molly received a Master’s degree in Curriculum Development. She has used music as an essential part of teaching basic concepts in reading, math and social/emotional development. Throughout her career Molly has written and received many grants that brought the arts to her classroom and community. In her early years of teaching, she and a teaching partner originated the Rainy Day Arts Festival that included performances with professional artists such as ethnic drummers and the local high school’s jazz band and choir. Recently, while teaching Kindergarten in North Thurston Public Schools, she wrote and received grants from the Hands On Children’s Museum. This allowed all 4 Kindergarten classes at Evergreen Forest to take a field trip and experience the wonder of the museum. 

Molly and her husband have two grown children, a son who is an Educator and a daughter who is pursuing a Doctorate in Educational Leadership. She and her husband led a YMCA summer camp at beautiful Lake Quinault for about 15 years. Her family spent a majority of those summers singing around the campfire each night with hundreds of children and teenage counselors. Currently Molly is helping to care for her first grandchild, Hazel.  She also has a passion for hiking and the outdoors and is a Hiking Guide for the Lacy Parks and Recreation Department. Molly is thrilled to be joining Jennifer to bring music and fun into the lives of young children and their families.
