Miss Laura & the Military Brats

I’ve written and published a picture book and a companion teacher’s guide focused on the military child, created to help children feel seen, supported, and proud of their story.

I am so grateful and thankful for the service Laura has provided. Her talent and skills are truly appreciated.
I remember the first time we attended, I was so blown away by how amazing she is; able to keep all the kids attention for the full hour! I have seen my daughter grow and excel in so many different ways due in part to her dedication and hard work. Thank you so much. Hands down, Laura is by far the best. And, if you don’t know me, I am a hard core storytimer!

About Miss Laura

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to the joy, movement, and connection that happens when young children and their caregivers learn together. I’ve spent years creating and teaching early childhood programs that blend music, movement, and simple piano exploration—spaces where little ones can grow in confidence while adults feel welcomed, supported, and part of something meaningful.
My background includes leading children’s fitness and “mommy-and-me” style classes, teaching storytime on Navy bases, and working with families from all walks of life—including time spent living overseas in Japan. These experiences have shaped the way I teach: with flexibility, warmth, and a deep respect for each child’s unique pace.
After a season of personal loss, I’m stepping back into this work with renewed purpose. I believe that even in life’s hardest moments, there is room for joy, connection, and new beginnings—and I’m passionate about creating spaces where that can happen naturally.
Whether we’re singing, moving, or sitting side-by-side at the piano, my goal is simple: to help children feel capable and to help families feel connected.
