Bio

 If you’d like the more formal version, here’s my professional bio:

Tanya Barsano, M.S.Ed., has spent nearly 30 years helping young children and supporting families as an early childhood educator. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in children's studies and a Master’s degree in special education. Over her career, she has served as a preschool head teacher, educational evaluator, special education therapist, teacher trainer, and mentor, impacting countless lives along the way.

Today, Tanya shares her expertise to give parents, caregivers, and teachers practical strategies that build confidence and make the preschool years a little easier and a lot more joyful. 

A lifelong believer in the power of books, she knows stories spark curiosity and lay the foundation for a love of learning. Outside of teaching, Tanya is a wife, mom of five, and proud grandma of two little ones — plus one big-hearted furbaby.
