All About Back to Basics Kids

Hey there! I'm Jess!

For 11 wonderful years, I had the joy of teaching kindergarten and first grade, where my passion for teaching and learning truly blossomed. With a master’s degree in early childhood education and extensive classroom experience, I’ve gained a deep understanding of young learners and their developmental needs.

Now, as a stay-at-home mom of three, I get to apply that knowledge every day while nurturing and educating my own children. It’s an incredible journey, and I love every moment of it!

I grew up in Rockville and still call Maryland home, where I live with my family. Whether volunteering in my own kids’ classrooms or learning with them at home, my commitment to fostering a love of learning and exploration remains at the heart of everything I do.

We Love What We Do

In the summer of 2020, during the challenges of the pandemic, I founded Back to Basics with a vision to create hands-on learning tools tailored for virtual schooling. My goal was to support children and their families in navigating the new landscape of education from home.

My commitment to creating simple, engaging, and versatile toys and tools has only grown stronger throughout the years. Whether it’s for use at the kitchen table, during a doctor’s visit, or on a road trip, my products are designed to be practical, easy to use, and enjoyable for children and their families.

At Back to Basics, we believe in the power of play and learning to foster creativity, curiosity, and a lifelong love of discovery.
