About Sarah Roberts

Hello everyone! My name is Sarah Roberts and I am an educator/student. I grew up in a family owned and operated home daycare for 18 years, spent about five years as a preschool teacher, and most recently became a personal nanny as well as a science communicator for young children at the Arizona Challenger Space Center here in western Arizona. I am currently working toward my Associates in Early Childhood Education (ECE) and am dedicated to educating the public of the importance of ECE. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, hiking, spending time with my partner/friends, and learning more about social, political, and scientific issues/concepts. 
Annalit and I met about 5-6 years ago and became great friends instantly. About a year after we met, we we were sharing recipes, ideas/concepts in early education, preschool classrooms(coworkers!), and even walls (neighbors)! She was the first person who took me hiking, the first friend to invite me to be part of their wedding, and the first friend I could relate to in terms of child education. We realized early that the public wasn't on the same page as us in terms of child involvement in everyday experiences and we found solace in each other when discussing issues and ideas that others couldn't relate to. We decided that together, we could help inform and inspire the public about the importance of adult/child interaction through blog form. I couldn't think of a better person to share this blog with and I am excited to see where it goes!
