Ms. Lauren has been working in early childhood education since 2018 and brings years of experience, patience, and heart to the AcademyOne team. She earned her Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential and is currently pursuing her Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education at the University of Cincinnati.

Lauren has a natural ability to connect with young children and is passionate about creating a nurturing environment where every child feels safe, loved, and ready to grow. She enjoys watching children reach new milestones, build confidence, and discover new skills while developing strong partnerships with families.

Outside of the classroom, Lauren enjoys cooking, trying new recipes, exploring the outdoors, and traveling. A former competitive gymnast, she later spent 10 years coaching at Buckeye Gymnastics—the same gym where she once trained. Her favorite children’s book is Oh, the Places You’ll Go! by Dr. Seuss, and she believes in encouraging children to explore, take chances, and believe in themselves. Lauren’s calm, caring presence makes a lasting impact on everyone she meets.
