Meet Miss Sophie

Sophie Shipp Asay

It’s me, hi! I’m the teacher it’s me!

If you can’t tell from the little hint in the intro, I am a Swiftie and love all things Taylor Swift! Seeing her in concert might be the second-best day of my life. The first was marrying my husband Mike Asay in the LDS Bountiful Utah temple! As newlyweds, I’ve been able to share my favorite things with him such as giving him a recap of the books I’ve been reading (anything Sarah J. Maas), watching The Vampire Diaries, playing games, eating Trader Joe’s goodies, and making weekly trips FIIZ to get my favorite Dirty Dr. Pepper. It has been so much fun! Along with sharing my favorite things, Mike has supported me in my passion for teaching! I used this passion to graduate from Utah Valley University with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and an Associate of Science in Pre-Elementary Education.

My Dream Career

Before I moved to Utah, I grew up in Henderson, Nevada. At 16 I got my first job as a dance instructor at a studio named Dance Addiction. It was there that I first developed a love for teaching through dance! Though I love teaching all ages I made a special connection with the little ones. I fell in love with all of their little personalities. My junior year of High School, I had the opportunity to go to the Dominican Republic to build an Elementary School and teach English to the children there. On this trip my love for teaching was solidified. I decided to move to Utah to attend Utah Valley University and pursue an education. After four amazing years of studying Elementary Education, completing student teaching in Kindergarten, and graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and an Associate in Science in Pre-Elementary Education from Utah Valley University, my dream career has finally come true. I am taking what I have learned from my college experience, to apply the best principles I’ve been taught into my home-run preschool, so that your little one, will be best prepared for Kindergarten! I can’t wait to meet you, and have an amazing school year!
