Hi, I’m Adrienne, the creator of 3 Minute Village. I’ve spent the past 27 years working with kids in all kinds of settings — summer camps, tutoring, coaching, student travel abroad, field trips, and of course, the elementary classroom. Helping kids grow is my passion. I hold a Master’s Degree in Education, and I believe the foundation for learning begins at home. I’m a firm believer that it takes a village, and I lean into mine — hard. That’s why I created 3 Minute Village.

As a teacher, mom, and wife, I love finding simple, meaningful ways to weave learning into everyday moments. Whether at home or on an adventure, I know you want to support your child the best you can — and you’re in the right place. Have 3 minutes? Your village is here!
