I’m so excited to see everyone tomorrow morning!
My name is Emily Hoffman-Smalling and I am the Acting Director at Emmanuel Episcopal Day School.
Our current students and families know me as Ms. Emily, one of the Two’s teachers. I’ve been an Assistant in Ms. Sara’s class for almost two years. I feel very lucky to have landed at EEDS, especially with such a wonderful teacher. Sara and I have had an incredible time together teaching and laughing with the adorable little rascals in our classes. I love that I get to see our “alumni” pass by our room each morning as they head upstairs to the 3s and 4s classrooms. It is very special to get to watch them grow and get ready to head off to elementary school!
Swipe left to see my crew at home: my partner Matt, our twin daughters, Harper and Stella, our youngest Marlowe, plus our two dogs, Dolly and Leroy. We have lived in Normaltown for the past nine years.
I have a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Master of Arts in Health Studies. I taught high school before our twins were born and later started an Event Planning company, primarily based in Atlanta. The company was highly respected within the industry and awarded The Knot’s Best of Weddings for eight consecutive years, earning us a spot in their Hall of Fame. After fourteen successful years, I ultimately chose to close the business to reclaim my weekends at home with our family. Throw in a Covid year or so wrangling virtual school for three kids, and a year or so trying my hand at residential project management, I finally landed in the perfect fit for me and my family at EEDS.
I love creating, organizing, and implementing systems that simplify life for all! I love working with young children and I love Emmanuel Episcopal Day School!
