Tabatha Rosproy, the 2020 National Teacher of the Year, is a career early childhood educator and the 2020 National Teacher of the Year. She is the first preschool teacher to ever win this award!  

Tabatha stops by to chat with Donnie and Alisa about how she helped launch a preschool inside of Cumbernauld Village, a nursing home and retirement community in Winfield, Kansas. The four-year-old students interact every day with community residents, who serve as volunteer “Grandmas” and “Grandpas” to every child in the school.  

After listening to the episode, check out this video of her school.
