North Tampa’s Premium Choice for Preschool

Founded by Karen Green

Hi, I’m Karen. In 2005, I was like many of you. I had small children who were eager to learn, but I didn’t have the training or materials. At the time, my teaching background had been limited to first grade. I was accepted into the Reading Coach program and my eyes were opened to the world of Early Childhood Education.

So, I plunged into the textbooks and relied heavily on my support team of amazing childhood education experts. Slowly but surely I started to absorb the knowledge and started working with my own three and four-year-old. At the same time, I was struggling to find a preschool that was nurturing and would meet the needs of the whole child, while exposing them to early literacy and math concepts. I became committed to helping them embrace a love for learning. So, in 2007, I took a leap of faith and opened up The Reading Corner.

During the 10+ years since we opened, we have grown to over 20 teachers and over 300 students. My husband is the CEO of our company, and my children have reaped the blessings of learning from some of the most amazing teachers who teach a developmentally appropriate curriculum.
