Hello, my name is Ashley Manno and I am the Flamingo Room Teacher. I have been an Early Childhood Educator for 13 years and I have worked for the Valley View School District for 6 years. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood with a special education endorsement and a Master’s Degree in Differentiated Instruction.  I am continually inspired and amazed each day I am in the classroom.  I love seeing the growth and progress each child makes from the beginning of the school year to the end. I have always believed in learning through play and this can be seen in my classroom on a daily basis. Creating a safe, purposeful and fun classroom environment is my top priority and watching the students explore with their imaginations is rewarding.  I truly could not and would not want to be in any other career path besides teaching!
