Tara Tanck

Classroom Teacher

During my career at NDCC I earned an Associates degree in Early Childhood Education from NWTC, and I’m working toward my Bachelors degree in Elementary Education through the University of Wisconsin, Superior.

While in high school I was a teacher's aid in the kindergarten and 4th grade classrooms. I also provide evening and weekend childcare for many families throughout the county.

 I incorporate creative art into my lesson plans along with sensory experiences and loose part activities. I have an interest in sign language and I enjoy sharing this mode of communication with my young students. I’ve completed six Infant Toddler Loops since I joined the NDCC staff in 2005.

My son Garrett was born in 2005. In my spare time I enjoy creating art, traveling, reading, and practicing my photography.
