About Us

Tatum Furnari: Founder & Teacher

Hamilton has always been home, and I truly love everything about this town. When I became a mom, I realized just how few childcare options were available to local families, and I knew I wanted to use my experience to help.

I’ve known I wanted to be a teacher since I was a little girl. With a degree in Early Childhood Education and two decades of experience, I’ve spent my career advocating for student success. My background includes being named Student Teacher of the Year at ASU and New Teacher of the Year as a public school educator.

Today, I’m a proud mom of two and a wife to a fellow Hamilton native. I’ve designed my program to be a comfortable, nurturing environment where children can enjoy their very first steps into the world of academics.
