NASA Educator Coming to Tucker Pre-K

The expansion of a local preschool/daycare aims to provide something greater than a little more legroom for the students and staff.

Grandma’s Finest Learning Center, located on Bancroft Circle in Tucker, will be offering Pre-K beginning this fall. A limited number of seats are still available.

To help launch the curriculum, the school turned to lifelong educator JoCasta Green.

Green is relocating from Huntsville, Alabama, where she works for NASA Educational Technology Services. Her work can be found on NASA Kids’ Club, NASA for Grades K-4 Teachers and NASA for Grades K-4 Students.

“During my 25 years in public schools, we focused on literacy development,” said Green. “At NASA, we focus on developing science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM, education. Children are natural explorers. I plan to incorporate my love of literature with STEM-related materials to encourage them to explore, play and learn about the world around them.”

Green carries a Master’s degree in elementary education as well as numerous professional certificates. In addition to her work for NASA, Green spent 25 years teaching elementary school. During her career, she has served as a consultant to ScottForesman textbooks and has focused on developing new curriculum to engage students.
