Erica Norman: Kindergarten Teacher
Hello! My name is Erica Norman and I am the kindergarten teacher here at Tree of Life Preparatory School. I am passionate about creating a warm, welcoming classroom where every child feels safe, loved, and called to serve. I encourage my students to be responsible and demonstrate respect for themselves and for one another.
I earned my bachelor’s degree from Oakwood University and have over twenty years of teaching experience, primarily working with young children. I enjoy helping students build strong foundations in reading, writing, and math, while also encouraging creativity, curiosity, and kindness.
In our kindergarten classroom, learning extends far beyond our four walls. Whether exploring outdoors, playing on the playground, exercising in the gym, or engaging in classroom learning, students remain actively involved through hands-on, play-based experiences. I strive to make learning meaningful, memorable, and fun while building strong relationships with both students and their families.
Outside of school, I enjoy reading, spending time with my family, and trying new vegan recipes.
My favorite bible verse is…
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13”
