ELIZABETH MCKENNA
Tinkergarten Instructor
My name is Elizabeth McKenna, and I am thrilled to be partnering with Tempo Music and Arts to bring Tinkergarten classes to our community. I graduated from Clemson University with a BA in Communication Studies and went on to get my MAT in early childhood education at the College of Charleston. I am a former kindergarten teacher who strongly believes in the power of play, music and movement, and nature as the ideal “classroom”. I earned my National Boards in Early and Middle Literacy in 2018 and have since been committed to deepening my understanding of how children learn. I started my Tinkergarten journey first as a parent during the winter of 2022 and then began teaching the program the following summer. I believe Tinkergarten provides the perfect opportunities for playful experiences, and thus LEARNING, to unfold. Come join me in exploring the great outdoors!
