About the Contestant
Representing: Early Intellect
Years Active: 4
My name is Claire Thomas, and I’m an early literacy specialist, educator, and entrepreneur with a passion for helping families and young children build strong literacy foundations. As the founder and CEO of Early Intellect®, I provide personalized literacy coaching, custom curriculum design, and parent workshops to empower families to raise confident readers and writers. My mission is to make literacy accessible and meaningful for busy families by embedding it into their daily routines.
As a proud Haitian with over 12 years of experience in education, I’m committed to using my expertise to create lasting change in my community. One of the highlights of my work has been providing parent workshops in Creole, allowing me to connect with Haitian families in a meaningful way and ensure that language is never a barrier to building strong literacy skills at home. I believe in the power of literacy to transform lives, and I’m passionate about equipping parents and educators with the tools they need to support young learners.
