Erin crozier

OWNER | LEAD TEACHER

Erin Crozier graduated from the University of Maine with a BA in Child Development and Family Services.

An experienced preschool teacher, nanny and tutor, she understands the importance of allowing children to be guided by their own curiosity and imagination to learn new concepts. She has a playful teaching style and is always up for an adventure.

She adores her dog, Denali- her favorite hiking partner, can build a fabulous fairy-house, and is thoughtful, patient, and absolutely hilarious.

Erin and her partner, love, and best-friend, Ethan, are beyond excited to welcome little ones to Finch&Fiddle Preschool!
