Dear Parents,

I am very excited to be your child’s new teacher! I was born and raised here in Clearwater. I graduated from Florida State University after obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in Theatre with an emphasis in Education.

I began my career by teaching Creative Dramatics classes in Tallahassee. I was very involved in Community Theatre. I have lived in New York City where I put my theatre and music training to the test. I eventually became homesick, returning to Florida to begin work as a Child Protection Investigator for the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office. This was challenging and fulfilling, but after three years it was time to return to my first love: teaching!

I worked in and observed many different preschools before finding a home here at COTI Community Christian School. I have taught here for more than a year and have loved every minute of it! I have earned my CDA and am also trained in Infant, Child, and Adult CPR and First Aid. I am currently attending St. Petersburg College, working to obtain an additional degree in Early Childhood Development. I am looking forward to getting to know you - and my new class!

                                                                  Sincerely,

                                                                  Ms. Amber Phillips
