About

A teacher who knows every student by name.

Foundations First was built around one idea. Small groups, steady routines, and real relationships are what young learners need most.

Meet your teacher

I'm Ebony. I help young learners become confident readers and mathematicians.

I've spent years working with kids as they sound out their first words, master place value, and build the habits that carry them through school. Foundations First is where small groups, steady routines, and real relationships do the heavy lifting.

My approach is simple. Meet each child where they are, celebrate every win, and build confidence that lasts long after our sessions together.

I keep groups small on purpose so I can actually know your child. Their favorite stories, the strategies that click, the moments they light up. Every family matters to me, and your child's growth is the work I care about most.

What we believe

How Foundations First works.

Meet kids where they are

Every child starts in a different place. We teach to that, not to a script.

Small groups, real relationships

Four students per class means your child is known, not just enrolled.

Build confidence that sticks

We celebrate every win so kids leave each session ready to try the next thing.

Families love us

Real results, in parents' words.

"My daughter went from avoiding reading to asking for one more chapter at bedtime. The small group made all the difference."
