About Mrs. Carter

Hometown: 

  • I was born in Providence, Rhode Island. I had the privilege to live & travel nationally and internationally as a Military Brat. I went to High School here in Fort Collins at Poudre High School.

Professional Background/Education/Experience: 

  • This marks my 18th year as a licensed teacher practicing in the state of Colorado. This is my second year at Beattie.

  • I received a Bachelors of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from Colorado State University.  I went on to the University of Northern Colorado for a Master's in Special Education.  Six years later, I earned a Master's level endorsement in Special Education for Early Childhood.  I have taught from the High school level, all the way down to birth!   

What I love about working at Beattie: 

  • I am enjoying getting to know all the Beattie students, staff and families in my second year.   I am thankful to be a part of a 3-class Early Childhood team.  

Early Childhood is where my passions lie. 

  • My favorite things about Early Childhood are getting messy with exploratory learning, letting the children lead the learning, and partnering with parents in celebrating children's' successes.
