Preschool Chaos!
Grab your coffee (before a toddler hides it in the block corner), because you’ve just stumbled onto the only author website that smells faintly of crayons, hand sanitizer, and glitter.
Here you’ll find the outrageous, heartwarming, and occasionally sticky truths of running a preschool empire—from tantrums that rival Broadway performances to the mystical rituals of the teacher’s lounge (spoiler: it’s 90% coffee and snacks).
Buckle up, because this isn’t just a book. It’s a front-row seat to the mayhem, the magic, and the glue-stick disasters of early childhood education.
👉 Ready to laugh, cry, and maybe double-check your child’s backpack for dinosaur poop sculptures?
Ashli Karaman
The Accidental Entrepreneur
Ashli never set out to become the CEO of glitter explosions. But after touring one too many depressing preschools (TVs blaring cartoons, locked front doors, and teachers yelling like drill sergeants), she thought: “How hard can it be to open my own?” Famous last words.
Armed with a business degree, teaching experience, and three very energetic boys, Ashli launched her preschool adventure. What started with dry-wall dust, loan paperwork, and wild optimism soon turned into a full-blown, laughter-fueled career shaping little humans and wrangling even littler crises.
When she’s not writing or reminiscing about the great Coffee Machine Meltdown of 2021, Ashli is probably chasing her kids, hiding snacks from them, or secretly admiring the “masterpieces” glued to her refrigerator.
