Hello! My name is Chelsea Froning, and I just finished up my fourth year at Pittsfield Elementary. I have taught both 4th and 2nd grades, and loved working with such a dynamic group of kiddos and teachers! Prior to my work at Pittsfield, I spent about 4 years working as a preschool teacher leading infant, toddler, and Pre-K classrooms. I also spent time directing an Infant/Toddler Spanish Immersion daycare program, running an arts and literacy-based after-school program in Ecuador, and teaching English in both France and Ghana.

I received both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the University of Michigan, concentrating in Psychology, International Studies, and Spanish before completing the ELMAC program to receive my elementary teaching certificate. In and outside of school, I love to learn new things, stay active, and work collaboratively. I can't wait for us to learn and grow together!
