My name is Jill Bernard and I am leader of the Toddler Flamingo flock. My degree is in Communication Studies with a minor in Psychology from Texas Tech University. Education and literacy have been my passion for over 20 years. My public school experience in three different states along with my work with special education populations and literacy intervention gives me a unique perspective in working with toddlers to encourage the love of learning from an early age.

I love being able to expose children to sensory activities, art exploration and coach social and emotional strategies. Helping young people with their communication development and sharing their "a-ha!" moments is a joy.
