Beth Grams, Early Childhood Lead Teacher, OASD
Beth Grams, is excited to be joining the Early Learning team in Oshkosh. I grew up in Oshkosh, graduating from North High School. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education/Adapted Physical Education, and then went on to earn my Master of Education, with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education/Special Education. I have also completed a licensure program at Viterbo University, in Early Childhood Education, ages birth-age 8, allowing me to also teach general education. I have been working with early childhood students for the past 27 years. This will be my first year back in Oshkosh, after spending the last 21 years teaching Early Childhood/4K in Berlin, WI. I previously worked at Carl Traeger School, as an ECSE teacher from 1997-1999, and before that, I worked in Northern Winnebago County’s Birth - 3 Program.
I live in beautiful Green Lake, with my dog Riley, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
I have 2 adult children, Alex (25) who is an electrical engineer in Milwaukee, and Joey (22) who will be finishing up at UW-Milwaukee this Fall, with a degree in IT/Computers/Business.
I enjoy camping, paddling and pretty much any outdoor activities, especially if they involve water! I love to sit at the beach or pool and read!
