Hello!
I'm ashley
I’m so glad you are here! I’m Ashley Rives, the resource creator behind Lovely Commotion. I am dedicated to supporting play-based preschool teachers in saving time, gaining confidence, and fostering an enriching learning environment. Through my podcast, Facebook group, blog, and resources, I aim to provide valuable tools and inspiration to help educators create magical experiences for their students.
Education
background
With a degree in elementary and early childhood education from Northwest Missouri State University, as well as a Masters in Literacy, I have a solid foundation in pedagogy and instructional strategies.Â
Beyond the classroom, I have also worked as a parent educator and at-home child-care provider, broadening my understanding of early childhood development and fostering strong partnerships with families.Â
Currently, I am teaching part-time pre-k at a faith-based center, where I have the opportunity to put my expertise into practice while staying connected with the ever-evolving field of early childhood education.
My
family
I am married to my high school sweetheart, who is also an educator. We have 2 children and pups. We love to spend time together playing games, hanging out in the pool or traveling somewhere new.
