About your Teacher

Hi, my name is Hannah Grady, the owner and teacher at Wild Acorns. After becoming a mother again at age 43 (making my children 20 years apart), I was determined to find a way to remain home with my son during those magical preschool years that I knew all too well fly by much to quickly.

I have spent much of my adult years raising my own children, providing care for special needs/behaviorally challenged children, leading preschool and elementary school classrooms at special needs camps, volunteering in church preschool programs, studying child development in college, and supporting parents/families as a certified family, parent, and teen coach (Academy for Family Coach Training).

Having been raised in a small, wooded logging community, my heart is for small town country life. Moving to Waxhaw has been a dream come true! My own preschool/elementary school experience was Montessori and I have combined my love of them. Launching Little Acorns Nature Preschool brings together my love for the magic of the preschool age, the woods, and Montessori.
