Hi, I’m Emily.

I’m an artist, muscician, and educator, originally from San Francisco. I’ve been working with kids for almost two decades in summer camps, afterschool programs, preschools, art/music programs, and as a nanny.

Why I Started Philly Story Studio

I’ve always loved working with children, and had a passion for teaching. Reading has always been one of my favorite activities to do with kids, and was my favorite activity when I was young as well! Over the years, I’ve noticed that young avid readers seem to experience advanced speech and language development, as well as emotional regulation.

But, reading doesn’t come easy to everyone. That’s why Philly Story Studio classes incorporate art, music, and movement activities that help children understand and expound on literature. This promotes their confidence and creativity, and helps them to approach literacy in whatever way works for them!
