Audrey Keen

Classroom Teacher, Middlers

Audrey is from Huntersville, NC.  She graduated from NC State University with a B.S. in Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology.  She worked with a zoo, a wildlife center, and even a mollusk lab before she realized that her calling may center around young children. 

Audrey shifted her focus toward education, floating among multiple age groups in licensed programs and creating a nature curriculum for young learners.  When she discovered the nature-based, Reggio-inspired philosophy, it resonated with her belief that children thrive when they are given open-ended opportunities to grow.  Audrey wants children to feel heard, validated, and safe.

Audrey’s hobbies include reading and spending free time with her husband, dog, rabbit, and leopard gecko!
